CGTrader just doesn't have the exposure it needs yet to top Turbosquid but I am confident it will surpass it in time because of the quality of it's products but word of mouth is key in this business and people need to be talking more about them. There are currently no models in your cart. It would be great to have more of your feedback so we could make it better for buyers. I'm really happy to see CGTrader growing. Of course, as CGT reputation grows, this may change in the future (CGTrader has already beaten The3Dstudio in terms of statistics, but you also have to take into account that there are certainly a very significant amount of people coming here for 3D-printing only, which decreases the statistics in terms of regular CG models). A man can dream on :]. Thanks for sharing Your experience and thoughts. Sure, but I won't rinse and repeat the whole uploading process if it happens though. Allot of snags and details need to be worked out in order to make this sorts of things happen but the main idea here is to have complimentary forces working together to make a better product. In my opinion, the worst Turbosquid is doing is minimizing the role and presence of the real content creators, being just a middleman reseller but trying to control all aspects of the product in a way that in the end the . In fact my sells on TS are actually going down while they go up on CGt. They will be very enlightening and useful to you especially if you have never built 3D models and don't know what to expect.

It makes you blind and clueless to how a customer is actually using your product and how well it integrates in his business and future activities. CGTrader will have to do so at some point, or people in search of quality models will simply avoid it. A possible solution for potential buyers looking to sample the work of sellers, would be for sellers to have their free sample models at a low minimal price instead of free. I can't imagine that competing sellers would go for such things as you described, but who knows, there are plenty nuts all around :]. At least some aspects of it. When you search for specific models car, bike etc you usually end up finding a bunch of irrelevant models in there that don't even belong in that category and that is largely due to the fact that, they allow users to setup their own tags I tested it with golden palace, clothing and various hair, other textures, they all worked fine August 22, 2022 at 6:03 am #1859211 Sabrina Participant Rank: @Goblyn Glad you enjoy it!

Has anyone tried selling 3D models on CGTrader? - Quora Everything about it is ugly, i just sell a model on cgTrader and another model on Turbosquid, cgtrader gives me 71% and i feel ok , turbosquid gives me 40% and i feel like i get raped, besides its tedious way of uploading methods im done with those guys, i will stick with CGtrader, thanks for the information, still 60 to 40 is a big difference. [url=http://www.google.com]google2[/url] I imagine a totally different mentality is going on in the Ts room, where top talents probably just like to leave the building because a few individuals like to keep things in check (you know like in the old top down pyramidal structured way). I'm even considering seriously closing my store here. If it is true that other sites are taking a higher margin and a larger slice of profit share, they have some kind of capital to work magic with, both with artists who are accepting less and buyers who are paying more. After 60 days, we will put your content back online. Also the management is awkward on TS. This would allow genuine potential buyers to check the quality of models.

Honestly I feel that it would be better to sell n bit slower that to have your models stolen. I was ,,Diamond ,, since 2008, they stole items and they never gave me the money . etc I ended up terminating my account, seeing as I couldn't operate the store under such conditions - not only did I risk having the work I'd put in uploading items undone at any moment, I also had no idea what pitfalls I had to avoid to not have items taken down. You said you have considered closing your store here, I get that but why not just keep it up? That is very strong argument in favor of CGT, but then again, don't you think that corporate client would rather choose to get support from team of profesionals that are available 24/7, than from unknown person, who might respond with big delay or not respon at all? [google7|http://www.google.com] I'm always in favor for more options and less restrictions. The longing to justice is something that cannot be eradicated, the hole of human history shows that clearly. I tested the CGTrader rigged character morphs for Daz3D studio from your commission and it works like a charm!
Rigged Female 3D Models | CGTrader Checkmate is the only good thing Turbosquid has left to offer. i guess both have different orientationone is cg and one is 3d printing oriented.

On TS depends on the country you come for, you get around 30% of your earnings (this is how much you get on your account, I know it is stated 60% but they take additional 30% for US tax), here I am not shore how much you get as I just joined and did not made any sales.

Its great way to compete and fair . This conversation has me glued to my monitor, all very well spoken and nailed down to the core. i think cgtrader can grow stronger with higher quality traffic. TurboCrooks should be boycotted by artists since they are the one responsible for the situation! So it was sorted in your favor afterall? Regards, If that is the case then better not to become exclusive! Sometimes 3D model can have some errors, or it was not 100% what buyer had imagined it will be. CGt basically needs to be good at one thing, "facilitating a sales platform". I do agree with you regarding the search engine. I'm done with them. As every site takes a small cut from the sales of a model. In this case a collaborative action could be established to make the product more attractive. But it should be also possible to turn this filter off. 3D is great for creating things that can restore old products.

For me CGTrader is the best and CGTrader has the best structure of a 3d site !!! See ourPrivacy Policyfor more information. --GENERAL--. Downside at CGTrader is as i've just been informed from Support is NO you can't sell the licence here and transfer it into another users name. Work directly with a 3D artist for your project.

This would have probably be true for newcomers 5 years ago, but now that is different. Ebay and Amazon would be great for the cartoony non realistic stuff as well as 3D prints so long as people make sure to document the files appropriately and let people know it is 3D and not real. After selling on TS over 20 years I can share that our sales here are x5-10 higher (partially due to stopped publishing on TS), so why about uploaded your models on artstation marketplace or other market place which allows you to sell in other sites, I think ts is the worth one. So even if TS takes 60%, I still make better profit there because here I get 94% of nothing.

According to TS "Marmoset Toolbag's watermark" is an overlay and a no no. To bad this place is ridiculously expensive, you only get 33% of your sales. There are currently no models in your cart.

That is a big killer for licencing anything here that you intend to sell the licence for, leaving me with having to licence at Thingiverse first then using CGTrader as advertising or selling copies of the files only. Hello, Cgtrader have more favorable royalty rates, compared to TurboSquid. Realistic Female 3D Model. Say you happen to be a great render and lighting specialist but not so well a modeler, you see this nice models that have potential but the presentation is very bad (from good modeler with no render skills). In fact, 61% comes out against 40%, since the paypal commission on cgtrader is borne by the seller, the site pays commission on turbosquid. I like the concept of CGtrader very much, hope to see the duality issues resolved. when cgtrader change his frontpage i stop selling products bad :(. TS management is by far the worst in history, they are great at Hostile take overs, yet bad at dealing with the realities of industry, i stopped all my affiliate links with TS and right now i'm sharing only the links for my products on CGT and Art station. I've often (not just at this site) downloaded "free" items to verify their quality before purchasing models from a vendorI had problems with 3-4 of the "free" items I looked at first here (having no idea there was a limit), and now I can download no more. I am hoping that never happens Exnihilum! If they can sell on craigslist, amazon, ebay, walmart, target, toysrus etc Of course they would only sell the 3D printable toys there, either to be printed or already printed then yes all of a sudden 3D printing would be come more relavant and profitable.

My initial stance on this was, ok fine then my Ts account can stay up for those few that seemingly do not know anything ells outside of Ts. Difference in quality of search results is shockingly vast in favor of TS. At some point in the past both Turbosquid and The3DStudio had to get through a huge cleansing of their site and removed thousands of objects that were hampering their credibility. The art is to do it structurally organized and easily navigable and then it is a matter of giving the people the right tools and they will do the rest issue I think. I think John Hoagland already pointed out very well the most direct benefits of doing business with Cgtrader over Turbosquid. Most of the Ts artists also moved their work over here and almost everyone knows that, just not the ones hoe are exclusive, it's not going to take too long now before they systematically start breaking the exclusive contract when they see sales going down every month and things going up over here. The motivation to backlink and make marketing efforts for the own store (and the collective trademark ad the same time) would probable also increase. But they can still contact the artist for fixing issues directly here on CGTrader. I'm probably leaving this site for good, but it won't be because of you guys - it's because of the site itself.
So click on a category. There are very few modelers out there who can actually support themselves financially doing this and whenever one of us sells anything it is a little like winning the lottery.

I don't know if that is still the case ( and I have no desire to check ) but that is advertising that is hard to beat. Best of luck to cg trader, they have a great business model and site, it is just going to be incredibly difficult to take any of the market share from such a well established company. To be honest, it's hard to me to believe that such respectable people like Mantas and Eduardas would refuse to remove negative feedback if it was given without firm reason. Having a direct link/communication is also critical in detecting possible needs and potential new business. If they want free models then they can go elsewhere!!! Ps. I remember fighting them at length to try to put my brand name withing the model description or my website link and eventually lost the battle. I'm not sure about your analysis. ;). I hope it goes well for cgtrader i really like this page :-). Beautifully put IterateCGI, let's hope it is signal for more than just Tubro's downfall, but hopefully the downfall of treating 3D creators like shit. The staff on CG Trader seem to be very active and listen to ideas from the community, so I will try to find time and post some ideas on how the problem could be solved. Thanks again guys, and let us know if you have any further comments or questions. Remember The3DStudio? I make very nice sale here, and several each month, not as much as TurboSquid, but with 85% royalties I'm not complaining. This is the Tesla Model 3.

So i need to try to make money with my models as long as possible, means as long it is not uploaded to anywhere else. In my personal opinion TS is working very hard towards buyers and exploits sellers as much as they can, well except few chosen ones, while CGT is taking great care about sellers, but leaving buyers somewhat aside. It was the most unpleasant experience. We even stopped publishing new models there. former the 3d studio, 3D export, creative crash and Turbosquid). But for the rest i do like the way cgtrader functions, more royalty rate, easy uploading and a community forum and job board. In place already. Gumroad. That's just an easy question to answer 1. Having too many high poly models in 1 scene can considerably slow down rendering times, work flow and even crash your computer making the entire scene unusable. (so you basically pay for a fraud protection system for people hoe sell themselves out exclusively). Be very wary when the artist is from India or other similar countries. I have noticed that a lot of artists are moving to Asia to find jobs where they are far better respected and paid what they are worth. CGT is the only website that really understand both the artists and customer needs! Some while ago someone (if he is real, can't even verify that) bought my snakebot model on Ts and he posted a nice comment. I do feel cg trader gives the artists a better price and the share is fair . Thank you again! I see no point in closing when you might as well keep it open and get a couple sales.

We made this limitation to protect our designers from leechers who download hundreds of free models and then try to monetize them in some other way. In my understanding, for CG models, there are three main trends : large public with various expectations and low budget (roughly, poser people) ; professionals needing a good quality model quick and ready to pay for that (roughly, TS buyers), programmers wanting to create video games in search of game ready assets. i have sold it to millenium shipping containers amongst other professional business.
