We already announced few times the launching of the new material library here at 3D-Sphere and we really hoped that everything will go smooth and we would be able to launch it during the last month. As usually not all things were getting smooth and we have to postpone the launch of the new library to the time we would be sure that everything is prepared. However, to tell a bit more about the prepared library we can introduce the idea we are working on. The idea is actually very simple, to start a download library with materials which are used in the tutorials or can be used anywhere else. The library would be divided into two render engine sections; MentalRay and V-Ray and both of them will contain several sections for materials. We are aware that for V-Ray and as well MentalRay similar „libraries“ already exist but we want to place them under one roof and probably extend this for other renderers in the future. Together with the materials also some other downloads would be present inside the library, some related to the materials and some none.
Stuff
The end of the year is coming and also our budget for 3D-Sphere is dry like a martini. The website and everything around was so far financed only from our resources, so from our pockets. The Google ads placed on the website are not earning anything. If we should compare the earnings from Google ads vs. the payments we did, we are deep below zero :(. All the stuff we are doing at 3D-Sphere we are doing for free and we don’t want to change this at any cost. In the future maybe we would be able to get some sponsoring or something which can cover the expenses but so far we had no luck for this kind for help.

3D-Sphere is growing larger from day to day and so far it was only supported by the two admins which also founded the Sphere. Even that it looks easy; our daily fight with bugs, news and tutorials could be called epic. Our goal at 3D-Sphere is really to create something unique, something which wasn’t here before and this is obviously the hard part. When we started the Sphere I thought that after some time we would see also some interaction from our users, maybe some help but so far we had no luck. We were also surprised about the first competition we started almost year ago with prizes for more than 5000$ were nobody participate. Why we will never know for sure but from users I know and asked them I received a simple answer; iam not sure if iam good for it.
