I wanted to buy models to use, not to create a new hobby of downloading dozens and dozens of files per model.

Discussion started by dareshiranu

I've never purchased from here before and I'm stunned that the system is so primitive that I have to download EVERY SINGLE ELEMENT of a model ONE PIECE AT A TIME. Just how tedious do you plan on making this process? Had I realized this I probably wouldn't have bought so many at once, at the very least. I can certainly understand why they were on sale. It's enough to drive one from the hobby altogether. Madness.

Not sure exactly what you mean here, but the only thing I can say is it sounds like something one particular designer did to his models for some reason. Perhaps to break the models into parts for rapid prototyping (3d printing)? I've never heard of a model being sold one piece at a time for any other eason.

I think I overreacted, just a little. The first model I went to download - and the subsequent models from the same creator - were all a jumble. It was a huge list of individual parts, in various formats, and mixed in with those were also archives of the individual formats too. It was more effort that I'd expected to wade through all of those pieces/parts to find the collected works. Fortunately, the rest of the creators I've purchased from are far more logical in their presentation.

Yeah, packaging can differ greatly amongst creators. Some users post organized archives, while others upload raw source files separately.
This is something I want to avoid when releasing assets. I usually keep models in a tidy archive with structured folders and ready-to-use formats.
Makes things much easy for purchasers.
