Why is so much 3DCG being removed? The majority of fugtrup's art was removed under the guise of being a "screenshot".
Not sure if the reasoning was the same for lesdias's art, though I can assume other reasons there.
At this rate I have to go back to sancuck, and please for the love of GOD don't drive me back to that god awful website.

3D is only allowed if it is animated, official art, and I think if it is of such high quality that it could be confused with 2D art.

Yea, static 3D has been against the rules for awhile now with only official works being allowed. Cute and Funny content is also not allowed if it's too realistic. Fugtrup also overwhelmingly does western ip stuff, which is also against the rules.

It's mostly still images from 3D posing software that gets deleted. Think koikatsu_(medium) and the like. Historically, such images posted to this site have been poor quality. Even the exceptions listed below may be deleted if the quality is poor or, conversely, loli/shota are too realistic.

Current exceptions:

animated - not a screenshot
Blender - professional-grade render engine
Official art - professional-grade workmanship
Edits of 3D artwork where an artist has done work to improve the image. Adding text alone may not qualify. Adding a character to a 3D background is usually allowed.
maybe something else I can't think of off the top of my head.

Ummm.... I don't think that's entirely true because I've seen high quality BLENDER renders get deleted.

I've seen high quality, professional-grade blender uploads get nuked because "durrrrr 3D screencap"

But because "high quality" is very subjective, it's just gonna be the uploader's word against the mods ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not the only one deleting posts. Consider also that some very high-quality posts are off-topic or pay content or the artist submitted a DMCA request.

Well, I wasn't blaming you in particular.

It's just that I've seen a few good posts get deleted because "3D screencap", even though it was clearly a high quality blender render.

Yeah I don't have much to add, since SadSap said pretty much everything I wanted to say.
So can we get Fugtrup's works back? Since they're high quality blender renders, and not pay content.

Probably not, or not soon. The mass deletion tool re-deletes every post with the tag it's removing and changes the deletion reason when it does so. This means that many of those posts are duplicates or pay content but the deletion reason is wrong. I found at least 20 animated off-topic posts and 1 animated duplicate that had the wrong deletion reason. Also, only lozer can mass-restore posts.
