Editing Poser and Daz Free Resources:About

:''Were you looking for our [[Poser and Daz Free Resources:General disclaimer#Terms of Service|Terms of Service]] or our [[Poser and Daz Free Resources:General disclaimer#Content Policy|Content Policy]]?''

This wiki is an index of free resources for Daz Studio and Poser.

In geek terms, this wiki is an attempt to document the portion of the 3D-art [[wikipedia:Venn diagram|Venn diagram]] where [[wikipedia:freebie marketing|freebie marketing]] meets the [[wikipedia:gift economy|gift economy]], focusing on Poser and Daz Studio. 

== Why a Wiki? ==

Considering how many forums already have lists of free 3D-art content, why create a wiki?
* Anyone can update the wiki - there's no need to wait for a list maintainer to act.
* We can add images to the descriptions.
* This wiki is not bound by any one vendor's forum Terms of Service. We can list freebies that are hosted at all commercial sites.
* Links that the DAZ3D forums break can be posted properly here. (This only matters for people who use the DAZ3D forums.)

Of course, there are some disadvantages to a wiki.
* This is another place to visit. (This is only an issue for people who already read a particular forum to see what's new and free.)
* Anyone can maliciously update the site. (However, an admin can fix that by rolling a page back to an old version.)
* Somebody needs to run the wiki - but this doesn't have to be a single "somebody." The technical operation of this wiki is being handled by [http://meta.miraheze.org Miraheze], and the forum admins are [[User:Robkelk|robkelk]] and [[User:Kerya|Kerya]].

== What Should Be Presented Here ==

Almost anything that is legally free to download and use in your own 3D art may be listed here. (See "What Shouldn't Be Presented Here" for the exceptions.)

This includes free [[software]], free [[Figures|figures]], free [[Faces and Morphs|figure or face morphs]], free [[props]], free [[Poses and Expressions|full-body, face, or hand poses]], free [[Hair|hairdos]], free [[Lights|light sets]], free [[cameras]], free [[Materials and Shaders|material and texture sets]], and free [[scenes]].

== What Shouldn't Be Presented Here ==

While we want images of the free items, we usually can't use the "official" images of the freebies because of copyright laws. Please make new images for this wiki.<ref>If you need an excuse to make a render, this is one. If you created the free resource and the "official" image, of course you can re-use the image here - but remember that this wiki makes its content available under a CC:BY-SA license.</ref>

While this wiki is not bound by any vendor's Terms of Service, it ''is'' bound by anti-obscenity laws. No nude renders and no listing of anything that sexualizes minors, please.

Paid models should only be listed if there are free resources that need the paid models.

If a resource cannot be used in Poser or Daz Studio (or with those programs, for free software), it shouldn't be listed here. If you aren't sure whether a particular file can be used in Poser or Daz Studio, check the [[File Formats]] page.

This is a site for listing legally-free 3D resources. Links to "warez" sites and torrents are not welcome here, to the point that posting such links is grounds for locking the poster's account indefinitely.

Again, this is a site for listing legally-free 3D resources - discussion of other topics should take place on more appropriate forums. (Your desire to exercise your freedom of speech places no obligation upon us to provide you with a venue.)
