Any saved scenes exchange communities?

Ekhnaton

Hi all,

 

I wondering if there are any communities to exchange saved scene / scene subset files with other artists?

I have been working on several projects in last years, I created hundreds of characters sets, minding photorealism. I have about 200 "real people" scene character sets, and over 100 alien species character scenes, mostly with clothed and nude options, posed, with lights, render ready.  Mostly G3, but some G1, G2 and G8 lately. (I just uploaded several dozen renders randomly to my gallery to check)

So, I'm interested if there are communities to share such content with each others, or exchange somehow?

Thanks,
[and sorry for my language, I'm no native english speaker]

Presets are offered in the freebeis forum, as are custom morphs. You do, however, need to be careful not to include elements that are not your own work - for example, if you use Daz or third-party moprhs to roughly shape a character and then finish it off with scultping you need to ensure that you use Reverse Deformations to separate your sculpting (which you can share, embedded in a preset/scene subset or saved as a morph asset) from the other morphs (for which you can share only the settings - the slider values).

Thank you for the answer. 

To see it clearly, here is an example: if I have a scene preset that I created combining several store assets. Let's assume, I used morphs from 3 different morph asset packs, one hair asset with different hair shader, and skin created also from 3 different character asset packs from the store, plus a cloth and lights - then is it 'illegal' to share this scene file with anyone? (afaik the scene file does not include the assets, just references to the assets, so only those will be able to use it, who has all the assets have been used creating the scene)

For the most part, true. You cannot share any textures, mesh or morphs only the presets that don't include any saved parts. This means that the person using the presets has to have the same assets installed in their DS to achieve the same results as you did.

There are of course some freebie assets that are possible to be used to create other freebie assets, if it is stated as allowed by the person who made the freebie.
