New FormFonts Exchange

[Alan Fraser]

Hi guys, I thought you might be interested to know that we've revamped the FormFonts Exchange to make it essentially the same as the old Objective Networks (for youngsters...that was the precursor of both FormFonts itself and the 3D Warehouse...who 'borrowed' the old ON interface pretty much lock stock and barrel)
We are aiming to still keep it professionally useful, so it will be moderated with a light touch to keep out suspect content and to prevent it being overwhelmed by junk.

As with any such setup, it does require registration, but after that you can upload/download to your heart's content...we have removed the one download for one upload restriction. We will not be having anything as crass as a ratings system, but you can now comment on models. You can also add any extra search terms that you think might be useful to yourself or others. I hope you find it a useful resource.

Please take a moment or two to read the uploading guidelines, which do nothing more than outline how to display your models to best advantage...and if you feel like showing off your rendering skills by submitting photoreal thumbnails, like we have on the main site, that would be welcome too.

You can find the Exchange at http://www.formfonts.com/index.php?area=All&site=1.

Thanks to Alan and FF for the access, I miss the old Objective Network. I signed up for the exchange, and at first thought you use the same name as you do for FF, but after it was rejected, I thought Duh! I am sure the Exchange and FF keep themselves slightly separate. I redid the application with new user name and password and was accepted. I download one model as a trial, and it works fine. Thanks once again, I think Alan is close to a genius to be able to make such high quality models with such low sizes.

Thanks John; but personally I think of it as something akin to OCD when faced with redundant polygons.
