Exploring Laticis Imagerys Collection Of Free 3D Digital Assets

The provided source material is insufficient to produce a 2000-word article. Below is a factual summary based on available data.

Laticis Imagery, created by artist Adriano (Ady) Di Pierro, offers a collection of free 3D digital assets that have been distributed through various platforms over time. The artist specializes in creating 3D digital assets, 2D/3D logos and designs, creative resources, image enhancement, generative AI, photo retouching, and studio portraits.

History and Distribution of Laticis Freebies

Laticis Imagery initially shared free assets through a DeviantArt account, which was later deactivated. The artist explained that the DeviantArt platform was "driving me nuts," leading to the account closure. Some users noted that when attempting to access the DeviantArt links for freebies, they received messages indicating the account was deactivated.

After leaving DeviantArt, Laticis briefly experimented with GumRoad but found that platform "wasnt doing it for me either." Eventually, RenderHub became the new home for Laticis's freebies and some commercial content.

The artist has been gradually re-releasing some older freebies on RenderHub, updating them with additional features. For example, the "li-hover-platform" was made available again with updated UV Maps and textures. Similarly, the "li-golden-chain-for-genesis-8-males" was re-released as an updated version of an older freebie.

Types of Free Assets Available

Laticis Imagery offers a variety of 3D models and digital assets, including:

  • Character accessories such as pubic hair for Gen2 Female and G2Male Genital Hair
  • Furniture and props like the Royal GARDEN CHAIR, LI Designer Chair, and Metal Bath
  • Fantasy elements including Detailed Crystal, Morphing Fantasy Rock, and The Alien Egg
  • Sci-Fi items such as the LI Sci-Fi Sun Lounge
  • Architectural elements like the Li Concrete Slab 2024, described as a "quad based mesh with single UV - no morphs"

Licensing and Usage Terms

Laticis's freebies come with an Extended Use License, which permits users to employ the models for both non-commercial and commercial purposes across various mediums and applications. The full terms of the licensing agreement are available through the official 3D Content Licensing Agreement.

Recent Freebie Releases

As of mid-2024, Laticis continues to release new freebies. The "Li Concrete Slab 2024" represents a more recent addition to the freebie catalog. Although the artist noted that they were "not quite happy with it" and considered it a work in progress that "started out as a test," it was still made available to the public.

Community Response

The freebies have received positive feedback from the digital art community. Users have expressed appreciation for the assets, with comments such as "Thank you, have always really liked your stuff" and "Cool. I always liked that one. I was happy to stumble across it again on RenderHub."

Some users have requested more freebies in newer formats, particularly Genesis 8 (G8) and Genesis 9 (G9), noting that G8 remains in demand while G9 represents a newer format that some users are hesitant to adopt. Laticis has expressed support for G9, stating "I do not see anything wrong with G9."

Conclusion

Laticis Imagery provides a valuable collection of free 3D digital assets to the digital art community. Through platforms like RenderHub, the artist continues to distribute both updated older freebies and newly created items. The assets come with permissive licensing terms that allow for broad usage, and the community has responded positively to these offerings. While the DeviantArt era has passed, RenderHub now serves as the primary platform for accessing Laticis's freebies.
