Are you on a VPN? I had to cycle through various locations on mine until it stopped blocking me.

Tue, Mar 03Thank you for letting me know what the problem is. I sent them a message from my smart phone.

Tue, Mar 03Let me know what they say; I imagine it's intentional. A lot of websites are blocking VPN traffic now.

Tue, Mar 03Will do. So far, no reply except for their daily advertising email.
You know, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to do this intentionally. A lot of their talent has been pulled away and their sales are down. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to further limit your sales by restricting access to long time consistent buyers. But hey, what do I know.

Tue, Mar 03Thanks for the update. So far It's been working for me since initially switching VPN servers. Hopefully it doesn't become a recurring issue.
Yeah, I've been having trouble accessing Renderosity recently, too. If I turn off my VPN, I can get in; if I leave it on, I get the "403 Forbidden" error. The story I got from reading their forums was that they had recently updated some of their infrastructure, and that they were having some teething issues with it that they were working to fix. The issues are known and are being dealt with.

Tue, Mar 03Thank you. They need to get their act together. First they lost many of their top contributors which greatly reduced the stuff that I was interested in buying and now I can't even see their site which means the few things that I would buy, I can not even see. Thanks again for the info.
Nope, still broken for me 2026.03.02 @ 1850 U.S. West Coast.

Tue, Mar 03I use to buy a lot of stuff from them but now this is my number one place to shop. It's the only place that I can continue to buy new G8 stuff. Every place else has migrated almost exclusively to selling G9 stuff.
They seem to have gone over to a very cheap tier of service and there's just lots and lots of downtime now.

Tue, Mar 03We could start a pool. Everyone throws a few bucks into a pot and takes a guess at when Rendo finally goes under. The closest guess gets the money.

The Renderosity marketplace is nothing more than a discount outlet store for Daz Genesis products.
And the rest of the website is probably surviving off of running ads along with revenue they're getting from the Daz content sales in their marketplace.
As long as these two resources continue to exist, renderosity could technically operate indefinitely.
I cannot really imagine that Poser is a profitable software at this point.
It's probably surviving on a 100%. subsidy from the Genesis content sales made in the marketplace.
These are very tough times for the 3D market right now, particularly with prefab Humanoid content.
Every ecosystem( gaming,3DCC's) have their own 3D content markets so any notion of of selling
your humanoid 3d figures outside of your core user base is utter fantasy no matter what export plugins
you may offer.
Reallusion is struggling as well and has shifted completely away from individual hobbyist film & game Dev animators and is aggressively marketing towards businesses and industries, Hoping that they will buy or rent their suite of software to use in creating internal training videos.
