3D Gallery for Designers and Architects


Recommended Posts

I have to say Superfinicky that I'm with gmm18.

I'm not interested in registering my details before I see what you're offering, and small white text on a black background is unpleasant to try to read. Too much text, too many rules, not enough eye candy.

Hi guys, I appreciate the feedback. The sites you mention have generic goods. Archipedia has a collection of complex pieces. I can't insist that you register however, if you don't you won't see what it's about! Check out the galleries, and if you want to use it after, re-register with your real details. Archipedia is geared towards architects and designers who work direct with the manufacturer. It's a niche market, not mainstream, geared towards the higher end. The best galleries are Decorative hardware & Ironwork. There are a few lighting fixtures too. I agree that there are many other sites with enormous amounts of objects, but you won't find a collection of pieces of this nature anywhere. Again, niche is the key.

Then again, you need to register for all forums online

Really? You need to register to view all online forums?

Maybe I'm on a different internet, 'cuz I regularly hit about two dozen different forums, and ain't none of them require me to register to view them: to post or download, yes; but not to view.

The only sites I've heard of that require someone to register before viewing the content are pR0n sites.

...so what's the big deal?

You mean OTHER than the fact that you're "sharing" (selling) user information?

TERMS OF SERVICE

... Vendor?s on this site are notified of downloaded content for their marketing and follow up. ...

McLaugh, the information is not sold. When you download an object, the manufacturer who owns the rights to the product sees it not your user information or contact details, just your company name. Again, the idea is to provide the architect/design community with real world products (high-end), and the manufacturers are just looking for reassurance that the goods will not be copied. We do live in the information age.

And FYI, I had to register to each and every one of the following sites: vray-materials.de, yahoogroups, renderosity, cadforums.cz to name a few.

McLaugh, when you present a product which belongs to a manufacturer, you have to assure them of their ownership. The site is a bridge between the manufacturing/design worlds.

Try reading the privacy policy which states: "PRIVACY POLICY

I have to agree with not wanting to register to look. I saw your link when you first posted it and immediately closed the browser because I didn't want to register just to look at it.

Your FYI examples of registering are not valid. All four of your examples I was able to look at the content without registering.

Nothing wrong with registering, but give people an easy way to check out what you have to offer.

Hi Ray, what do you suggest we do? I mean we have to let the user know it's a demo account. Wouldn't you rather find out that you're using a demo, then finding what you were looking for and then having to learn only then that you were using a demo account? Again, any ideas as to how to better are most welcome and I appreciate your feedback.

Best,

Ori

Go look at vray-materials.de. I can look at anything I want with a simple note on the page telling me I can't download anything until I log in.

As far as your demo account, I would much rather find out it is a demo account after I find what I want than a pop up with every link.
