Hi People

Been a long while, but I have dropped back in to point out a great photo/image site called Flickr. It can host all your images and photos without storage limits for about $24 dollars a year for a Pro subscription. It has plenty of tools to organize and share your work with others and best of all it allows you to store your images and be viewable at their native resolutions. Example, imagine looking at Glen Southern’s work at 4096X4096. It also has services to create bound books of your art for a reasonable price and to create Posters etc… I just ordered a 42 page bound book of my art for less than $22.

There seems to be alot of Art groups already established to share your work with but very few examples of Zbrush Art. I have started a group call Zbrush Art which I hope will draw some interest and perhaps some of you to share your work.

Anyhoo, if this interests you and you sign up give me a hoot i’m floyd_noise in them there parts.

Do you have to pay to post in the zbrush art group?

Hi Bill

No, I believe the only limitations are in storage

here is the Free account description
20 MB monthly upload limit
3 photosets
Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images
Storage of smaller (resized) images

Thanks. It’s been awhile since I’ve heard flickr mentioned. Especially with all of the youtube hype of the last few days.

Looks great. But it’s part of Yahoo… Took me a few month to get rid of the last yahoo spam mail after joining a woodworker group. Gezzzzzzz not again.

hmmm I hope not. I have been a member for only 6 days and haven’t recieved any spam whatsoever. But in any case I always use my disposable email account for online and not the email accounts that I actually use.

Great idea. Time to invite myself to another gmail account…
Anyone else in need of a gmail account? Let me know and you get one.

hey together,

be careful with flickr! They will propably tag you.

“At stake is a little-known Flickr policy of flagging accounts that contain mostly non-photographic images and preventing images from those accounts from appearing in public areas of the site, including search.”
read here!

I cant find any of my uploaded images by searching on flickr. Thats why I´m actually switching to Zooomr, an alternatvie imagehoster, thats quite able to compete :slight_smile:

Heya Froyd

Interesting!

And yes, Flickr is for photos. With some exceptions, it’s OK to post other images, but if the majority of your photostream contains content other than photographs (like illustrations, screenshots, diagrams, etc.) it’s very likely that your account will be marked Not in Public Site Areas (NIPSA). NIPSA means your photos won’t show up in photo searches, but they will still be visible in your pages, your groups and contacts.

Well, perhaps they will change their policy with all the hubbub but as long as they show up in the groups, contacts and my own page I really don’t care. The main point is building up contacts with people that you find have outstanding work (there is alot of very good artists) and building your own circle of friends. I think the public search is a very poor way of finding interesting work, I look to see what people are posting what in various groups and that leads me to more interesting work.

I find that missing in Zoomr but admit it is still in Beta stage and it looks like they are following the same format as Flickr so I bet they will have something simuliar in the future.

Perhaps I will write a program to embed Photographic EXIF information into jpg so they can’t detect it as a non-photograph. That’ll fix em heheh

:ex: Update :ex:
To keep your account from being NIPSA’d tag your non-photo work by “removing them from public searches” that way your whole account won’t be kept out of the search engine so that your “real” photos will be searchable. Silly yes but I guess they have a point, 15000 hits on somebodies collection of Second Life screenshots when you are trying to find a picture of a blankety blank.

Hi Digits,

That book bounding stuff sounds cool - will give a go.

Thanks,
