Hi guys. What are some good alternatives for sites like deviantart/slushe/artstation fo uploading non-nude/nude renders.

Pixiv is basically japanese' deviantart (with english interface option). Be careful when browsing it though.
Thre was another japanese site which focused specifically on 3D art, but it was closed some years ago.
I don't know what your goals are, but DA has a large, vibrant community of 3D and Daz people with active Daz groups to help you share work and find audience.
they are also very restrictive and overbearing. It used to be a whole lot better there.
True, but I've yet to find a better solution. I suppose Tumblr was better for erotica, but Verizon killed that. If you've got a better solution, that would be great. Please share. But I don't think there is one - At least not now.
Tumblr? I don't know if they accept nudes. But they'd accept non-nudes. They don't like anything *cough*sexual*cough* anymore.
I know of no other alternatives to deviantart/slushe/artstaion etc - Believe me, I've been looking for them.
A little while back, they were the place for porn and all types of NSFW content, then as pointed out, things changed big time.
I used to be a part of a great art forum/gallery for all manner of types of images, mostly darker themes and sexual themes, like renderoticas gallery. Amazing group of artists and people for the most part and I really enjoyed my time there. Unfortunately running it was a pretty much full time gig for the owner and he finally moved on from all that work and closed it down, which I don't blame him. I haven't really been to inspired to create much since then.
Deviantart hasnt been the same since Eclipse was forced upon us. Half the good features were removed and the other half were broken. And we were given fearures that nobody cares about or wants to use
As I mentioned, Verizon put an end to that. Verizon bought Yahoo and its blog component Tumblr. Verizon banned adult content. And then Verizon sold it to Automattic, the Wordpress company, in 2019. And the adult content ban is still in place.
Here are some articles.

Which features you miss the most?
For me, even Eclipse-era deviantart has more functionality than artstation.
As for websites like CGSociety or Polycount - the ones that favor 100% from scratch 3d over pre-built usage like Daz. There is also one called "The Rookies".
I can't customize sub-folders. In the previous interface, HTML could be used to customize the entire page. That is no longer an option. The sort feature has been broken since day #1 of Eclipse. I have a folder where half my submissions are going from oldest to newest and then in the middle it starts going in the opposite direction. The notification system notifies you only once and then the notification goes away. In the previous interface, the notification remained until you X'ed it out. I really don't care for the "like" feature but there is no way to turn off those notifications. The reason why I don't like it is because other notifications get buried and lost in between the "like" notifications.
Eclipse is the Wix-ware version of DA. There's no getting around that. I remain hopeful that the crew there can fix the ills over time withut breaking anything else.
+1
I've also had older work disappear from my gallery. Files and Favs have also disappeared from my Favourites folders.
And sorting Favs in a browser has become a real pain in the... The fact that you can also only move 24 items at a time is a real pain, too. I haven't been able to make a sub-gallery since Eclipse was brought in (and I've had a Core membership a couple of times since then). And the Page Views number is the biggest load of bs that I've ever seen on that site!
Sorry. I didn't mean to rant... I hardly upload there now. There's an artist on hiatus that I'm missing, and personal (irl) problems which haven't helped.
I've got a Weebly account/blog. I don't post there yet, as I haven't made it public. They accept nude and non-nude stuff.
Slushe has a particular, let's say "bent", to it because it was established as a futa art site. As for Pixiv, there's some very good 2D/3D artworks there, but I no longer visit as a lot of the images there are illegal where I live.
There are surprisingly very few site available for softer erotic artwork apart from Deviantart. Slushe if safe and fine if you filter-out the stuff the images you can't un-see.
I have my doubts. It actually feels like they are not even listening to folks by introducing features that nobody asked for or wants and not returning features that we are begging for. Sad.
At least i'm glad they returned pagination (enable it back in profile settings, if it's off).
Infinite scrolling is pain when you need to browse 2000 images or favorites. Dislike ArtStation for this.
I wish they would fix the sort feature. I have folders with submissions going in one direction and then going in the opposition direction just out of the blue.
