3D content for personal pictures.
Hello folks, Mortze here.
I've been wondering for some time now about a new form of support that you could give me and get an immediate and personal reward just for yourselves right away.
Most of you may know that to be able to make 3D scenes (pics) I need to acquire 3D content in the form of clothes, accessories, hairs, body morphs, furniture, scripts, etc. Lots of cool stuff but not always cheap. I try to diversify the art in the games so they don't look like many other games out there and that means I need to always be updated on the new content.
The 3 sites where I go most search for those things are DAZ3D, Renderosity and Renderotica .
Both DAZ3D and Renderosity have Gift cards/certificates.
what I propose you is this; in the event that you browse around those sites and see a nice thing that you like (a character, a piece of clothing, a sex toy, some nice setting, etc) you tell me about it first, and about a picture you'd like me to render exclusively for you, with that product. If I like it (and doesn't already have it) I will ask you to buy me a Gift card/certificate and I'll purchase the content and render your picture.
I think this is a win/win situation. You get a personal picture commissioned to me (that I won't disclose anywhere else!), and I get more content.
(For Renderotica stuff I'm not sure about the gift certificate thing but we could sort something out by message).
The only rule would be for you to contact me first before choosing content and buying the gift cards. That's very important, to avoid misunderstandings from both sides.
Do you guys think it is a good idea? Would you be interested?
Cheers!
Mortze

Apologies for not replying sooner to this. I think this is a great idea. Giving people an opportunity to own a Mortze original, even creators who are Patrons could be interested in this. If I were in your shoes my only concern would be time. However, that probably won't be an issue.
Interesting idea. Here is suggestion - you know better than us what assets would be most useful for you. Perhaps you could create some sort of wishlist with things you would like to have. That way people would buy you things that are most needed and you wouldn´t have to deal with that many offers of stuff that is useless to you. Also there would probably have to be a minimum price limit - otherwise people would simply try to get as many renders as cheap as possible
That is a good idea. It is disapointing that neither DAZ nor Renderosity allow to me to export my wishlists there. In all cases, most of the things in my wishlists aren't sexy stuff. It's places, vehicles, props. Only about 20% of content is what I consider "sexy" and something you guys might want to give me. And finally, I am not concerned about people trying to buy as cheap as possible for max renders because it will be me that will say if the content interests me or not. So, since this is a personal renders reward it is on your interest in looking for that special content you want me to render before someone else does it :) -- Mortze
I really love your storytelling and art fidelity. Especially when you switched to Iray. I can only hope to reach that level some day.
Anything that feeds creativity is a good idea. You are the best one to direct your time usage, so if it works for you, go for it.
I personally would be willing to commission 3 pictures from you and get you multiple 3D pieces for each. The only concern I would have about this is to put too much extra work on you Mortze, depending on how many patrons you open this to.
There won't be too much work put on me because I'll be the one saying if I'm interested in the product or not. And part of the interest is me having time to actually do the pic. So, before anything is done we should discuss what product it is and what kind of pic you want, and on that I'll decide if it's worth (time consuming wise). -- Mortze
