How it works
We need YOU to share share you're materials with others. You need to download the preview-scene (check downloads) and place your material on it. We have video-tutorials online how to handle the scene (view "docs")... There'll be competitions as we grow, so you'd better have a look at it..

(4) Rating
Rating materials has to be fair. The rules are simple: If you like it rate it high (highest=5) if you don't: rate it low.
The rating is supposed to help other users to choose downloading it or not. If the member gives any votes it will not have an effect on anything else but the rating of the materials and the average member-rating. Members ranking other members/materials with "auffallend" we will take notice of this behavior and "verwarnen". Any attempt creating another account and rating yourself will be noticed as well.
