I've been asked far too much that I decided to make a documentation of it in order to share the solution as well as possible to avoid repeating myself in my tickets. These show the latest addons people have added to and the most popular (most downloaded) addons.these are helpful because you instantly know what new addons have been added to the site. Just below the tag box, there are two columns, one labeled latest.and one labeled popular When you first go onto you will notice a big square filled with lots of different words, these are tags and you can just click on one and it will take you to all the files associated with that word.this saves time typing :) there is also a search box where you can search for addons.
Now for the addons you can get the addons from they are all free and you dont need to buy them.i wont go into too much detail about how to install complicated files.but i will show how to install the basic but most needed ones, the most needed ones in my opinion are the pheonix storms premium models pack.as they open up loads more materials to create things with.
