Toys (212) Buy or download free 3D models for your CG projects, film and video production, animation, visualizations, games, VR/AR, and others. CGTrader remains a young and very responsive team and listening to members - it's a great quality. The people at the top of the pyramid scheme bully all the new modelers who show any sales success because they barely scrape by as it is so it is really bad work environment to work for Turbosquid is not worth your time. We at NoneCg think that both CGtrader and Sellers will benefit from the exact opposite policy. No matter how many 3D models you need, we'll take care of it. I'm probably leaving this site for good, but it won't be because of you guys - it's because of the site itself. TurboCrooks should be boycotted by artists since they are the one responsible for the situation! [google14]url:http://www.google.com. Yep.. The utopian view here is a successful merge of all related activities (or at least part), connecting as much people as possibly can that are doing something that could potentially involve 3D, and in doing so eventually streamline part of the global 3D marketplace and increase the amount of successful transactions between many possible parties. 3D is great for creating things that can restore old products. TS has terrible support, i had stupid responses from them during my interaction with them. We left TS account and getting occasional spam regarding the prices from them. when the same type of issue occurs on CGTrader, the Staff policy is to do nothing. Let me explain - I like the look of the models here, but the site is even designed so end users, like me, can't even download more that 10 "free" items unless they've uploaded models of their own, written tutorials, posted topics to the forum (which is difficult if you're not an actual modeler) and/or jumped through about 1,500 other ridiculous hoops to get enough "reputation" points. Comment goo's like this, quote "Awesome model, converted this guy over into maya and he looks great" end quote. A rig is like a skeleton of a 3D model, which lets you move and pose it with little effort. There are tons of things better here on CGtrader, most notably we get served very well for extremely low cost. Chat with Support 24/7 Even when Ts would sell more models it does not mean they serve you well, because it is not. TurboSquid Member Services, I'm a first time seller (+-2 Months). In fact I hope that once buyers begin to see the difference in quality on this site they will jump ship but the thing that still trips up CGTrader is the consumer confidence. The duality of 3D printing/CGmodels is a very complex marriage. Cgtrader have more favorable royalty rates, compared to TurboSquid. 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. Your account is not in CGtrader and I can't see your models, and judging by the link in your comment you are just a spammer. disavantages: low budget clients willing to get low quality models for 5$. I think this game can only be won by the best community building force and that is CGt. How about Negotiated price? According to TS "Marmoset Toolbag's watermark" is an overlay and a no no. Change Method. Ts would probably just pull up the royalty's and change policy if it stats feeling uncomfortable, but it would not change what is in memory. Using TurboSquid products in Browser based games. BUT this is still not as infuriating as a personal account falling once a month with all the statistics! Thank you for shopping at TurboSquid. You can download any 3d model in all popular 3d formats including MAX, OBJ, FBX, 3DS, STL, C4D, BLEND, MAYA and other. We can help here by simple putting the links to our work on our social media. Maybe you think my words are disproportionate or naive but mark them now. They customize those figures anyway you want. Plus, if you express constructive ideas on the forums, you know you'll get listened to. The age of 3D models is over and people have moved on to 3D printing. And also because of the complete isolation of the seller-buyer. or I can just sell on cgt and artstationm marketplace?

Anybody else suffered the same blows to their sales in the same months as the web updates? In place already. They often would ask me to just send them a model through email and pay me through paypal like in the old days. It also seems to me like CG trader is looking out a lot more for the artists. They may not end up following your ideas, but they will certainly take them into account. You can enter multiple email addresses separated by commas, Thank you for shopping at TurboSquid. Also you need to think about the advantage of not having to worry about shipping costs etc with digital art. This used to be the case in TS as well, but the issue is being solved, this will have to happen here on CGTrader as well. I like this site more, because, firstly, it has a much more pleasant and understandable interface, gives a higher percentage of the sale (on a TS, it looks more like a tip if you are not a member of their club), and generally it works more stable. - Once in a while, alert all designers that a cleaning operation will be made, and wipe out objects that are of a too bad quality or copyright infringements. While i've heard that TS support isn't that great in practice and they always tend to exploit sellers, but impression that they're making on buyers must be really good. 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'm also active for some time on other marketplaces as well (e.g. Payment Method I have it is about 5%. Large studios with "turbosquid" collaborate very limitedly. That is a serious problem because it means a whole lot more work for sellers and I wish they would just get with the program. Here it is quite seamless and elegant. Since you havent contacted us about any of these changes being incorrect, we are resetting prices on these models one final time (see the attached CSV file listing these models). Let's give some time to time. This concept is not new and it seems to work well over here (http://market.envato.com/) The site owners could also act on other various levels : I deleted my products here and joined sguild again, no reason for staying here. They do not deserve that I fed them 60% But i think its not only the responsability of cgtrader to turn this around. These people quote Sun Tzu when you talk to them, so guess their future plans for you. They recently changed their search engine over there and when you search for Free models it comes up with a few free ones and many more paid ones so from that perspective Turbosquid makes your life even harder lol. (These stats can be confirmed as true by CGtrader staff, we have no problem with that). Thank you. Gritsuk : Hello Friends, glad to present you my model Female Hand Realistic. I think I like the another item the modeler has created (Modern Villa), but that item is $40. You have to choose a category to get a refresh. That takes longer time. But I will look there only because I know what is cgtrader and how it works. Better for who? So let's hope that at some point, the designers of the site will establish some filters to guarantee a minimal quality and, why not, a "good practice charter" for the sellers, or that they will explain some sellers that their attitude is not good in the long term for the site credibility. I will very much want to peruse. Same with copyright infringements, same with low quality models (a friend of mine bought recently a model here, which was supposed to be .OBJ compatible : but the seller had just exported the obj from its original program, without even editing the mtl file to have the textures loaded automatically ! Same for me, here. 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. This is a bit OT, but although I obviously ain't a squidguild member, I always try to design objects that are "checkmate" compliant to be sure that my models are OK, and I also beta test the .OBJ version in a lot of other applications that LW to be sure that they upload without hassle) CGtrader better is : Design,User friendly,royalties etc all better . I don't get paid until the 3rd, but I thought I'd download some things, look at their quality, fill up a cart and get prepared to purchase when the money comes around. I'm afraid the end of Ts is near and nothing can stop it, maybe the best they can do is raise royalty's to 80% for all sellers, but then again if they don't change the censorship policy's they are applying right now then it will probably not be enough to stop the downfall in the long run. 2. Hopefully that would make squids to react. In CGtrader you can accumulate many until you set up payment agreement. Get this item for $ when you bundle it with the items in your cart. I didn't checked it for a while (around a year) but comparatively Cgtrader has a much more streamlined upload system compared to Turbosquid's. https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/exterior/landmark/notre-dame-de-paris-cathedral-61d97afb1b1a62861673c23f15b75c12, All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. @ Supercigaleha, ha, a good point about ,,the famous CheckMate,, :) TS . Turbosquid just has it backwards. Ebay it's ALL about direct seller/customer relationship. Money in short term does not always pay of in long run. Cheap and free models are killing cgtrader. Yes, @limonadinis, I agree with you. TS has more sales because : This is a totally separate "operation" that is going on under the acquisitions of CGstudio and T3DFM, which serve also as noisy cover to "wag the dog". What that means is that customers have the illusion of it being the best site out there even if the quality of the products is way below CGTrader. just 2 years ago still existed. It's sad cgtrader promote only printing models and forget about regular models. I think that subsequently only large studios and squidguild members will remain there" Because of its design and trade/royalty system, CGTrader seems better and more advantageous, but at the end of the day, I get much more income from Turbosquid and The3Dstudio. IMHO that is main area where CGT must up their game significantly. However, probably allot of us silently disagree on how we are treated as artist on places like Ts. Most people don't care a bit about all this. So even if TS takes 60%, I still make better profit there because here I get 94% of nothing. I see what you mean but I think it depends on how you are covering markets. The rumour that they can "borrow" models for check-out before buy to particularly trustworthy clients could also be true.

Both are still growing, but it seems CGtrader is growing much more. They will be very enlightening and useful to you especially if you have never built 3D models and don't know what to expect. They could put down an amount between 1 to 5 bucks as a deposit and after sampling the model as you suggested they could deduct that amount from the final sale. In response he founded this place on the core principal that the artist would come first. @IterateCGI These are great ideas and in fact we are currently working on one campaign that will involve the community to help market CGTrader better. CGTrader has a good plateform for selling already licensed things files but not selling the licence,your trapped into owning the licence. Recently I've been trying to contact my old clients and buyers and although they still have an interest in my models they don't quite trust CGT with their money. We'll let you know about that soon - all CGT sellers will receive via email, so stay tuned! [a=http://www.google.com] google6[/a] I tried to contact the buyer several times with no response. It always depends on how you look at this industry from your point of view: - Are you into this market trying to make a living out of it? Is the same for me as everyone else. Yes. 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 . Alhamdulillah, we finished making the car! ;), My thoughts exactly.. 3d Printing could be very profitable (for CG Trader, and the modelers) There is plenty of "undercutters" everywhere and some short-sighted content developers that seem to only care about quick cash-grabs and most of the time doesn't even have enough data to state a valid opinion based on the contrast of facts over medium-long periods of time. Im convinced now that when I would reactivate my Ts account I will just have a bit less sales here and get some sales over there, could be wrong but I don't care, 60% cut is ridicules and on top of that price guarantee is just total madness. Maybe I live in an unrealistic parallel reality, where at least some people still have some dignity and know how and when to differentiate good vs evil and take a public stand with actions instead of just words. If anything buyers should get lots of points for buying.
Although in the beginning that meant the loss of a big part of income (being Turbosquid the biggest 3D content reseller), after just a few adjustment months from that specific point our sales in ALL the other marketplaces started to grow up to a point where we don't miss any income from the missing Turbosquid sales anymore, while 90% of "customer problems" suddenly disappeared. CGTrader will have to do so at some point, or people in search of quality models will simply avoid it. Look for the big picture and think medium/long term. Well, it was more than one year ago that I last intervened on this thread. Marius Kalytis (founder of this place) was a 3D artist himself and took notice of the questionable policy's the established market had adopted (leaving room to do it differently). Ts just took royalty's from other items I've sold to get the money back. I think John Hoagland already pointed out very well the most direct benefits of doing business with Cgtrader over Turbosquid. just needs more publicity.. us designers need to market the site with our products at the rate one of my designs is going ill have more facebook likes/shares than the website itself has on one design Now if this individual was for real I would have loved to contact him and ask If he would like to give me that converted file in exchange for every dollar he paid for the model. I tested the CGTrader rigged character morphs for Daz3D studio from your commission and it works like a charm! Sometimes you have to support the buyer. Open a Support Ticket, Licensing questions?Contact your Shutterstock Customer Success Manager. I left the turbosquid from Diamond level . For this, it is certainly the most pleasant place to sell models I know right now. To be honest, when I first found this site a few days ago I was really excited. While sellers will be disadvantaged in many interests. Yes, CG Trader is the best now some bugs should be solved. You are clearly one of the professional buyers who doesn't take advantage of the system but there are so many out there who do that and 3D sites are beginning to try to safe guard their artist's work by not making it so easy to just get everything you want for free. My opinions have evoluted over the months. They just took multiple of my most expensive items and run for it. 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. Honestly, who wants to buy nudes anyway? If anyone has been to New York they will have noticed that Fao Swartz a toy store in the center of Manhattan is creating 3D printable action figures. We will rather stick with cgtrader and know our models are safe, although the issue with finding CG models on the site is a little problem, but as long as they stay honest well be supporting them rather than supporting a bunch of thiefs and if we need to up our prices then so be it. A few weeks later, my first 3d model was sold on TS, while I had to wait 4 or 5 months to get my first sales on CGT, And the sad thing is that those sales concerned only low-priced models. And it offers a more strategic dimension. CGtrader is more in line with modern economics and following the model of open participation businesses, all these things make it have the hallmarks of successfully serving a growing team with highly ambitious members and top talented achievers (and also stronger support of the CG community itself). In fact, 61% comes out against 40%, since the paypal commission on cgtrader is borne by the seller, the site pays commission on turbosquid.

"This is new era, time of old fashioned corporatism is going to be over. Of course if you are buying models for the next Transformers movie the poly count won't matter that much because those models may be 500,000 each and you have almost unlimited resources to run those. Add a Payment Method, Add a Payment In one case, the model is promising, commercial, and then set a high price. I am hoping that never happens Exnihilum! 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? I hope someone someday will take the concept behind old cgtrader So here on CGt I could have just asked the buyer if he would be interested in that sort of deal. When you just start out you have to price your models at 1 dollar or give them away for free but the second you start selling well they take your models offline and force you to raise your prices Once you raise your prices nobody buys and you are back to square 1. This place is indeed different and allot closer to what we actually need, I can't imagine the core principal on witch this place is founded would change as it will prove to be the one and only way to be future proof in this supper connected world. Many do not search the net, they go directly to TS and search there for models. It certainly is an interesting read all together, thanks for documenting it so well and make the whole thing public, although I hope you don't stay embarked on a power struggle whit Ts management. patna Escorts Service We've been on TS over 20 years and on CG trader since their start. https://garagedoorrepairnewportnews.com/garage-door-spring-repair/, Hey, If CGtrader's advertisement budget is a problem, a Crowdfunding round may help. That's just an easy question to answer 1.
So in this case you could say we are the asses and there's lots of us so we form a huge ass and CGt can place many chairs for us to sit on ;-)
Exclusivity to any marketplace has been proved a revenue loss. If a model you like does not have a suitable file format, be sure to see whether the designer offers free file conversions for the model. What I eventually hope to have is a healthy fair open market place, where collaboration , communication, people empowerment and evolution prevails over control systems, central power structures, monopolistic thinking, and maintaining of a status qou. (so you basically pay for a fraud protection system for people hoe sell themselves out exclusively). But we forgot about the buyers. We can't even communicate on Ts, and that in an age of supper connectivity, it's just the world on his head. So that is why sites like Amazon are making a fortune. And good thing that you decided to tell about - such things should go public and be discussed. Prices do not include additional fees, such as shipping . I have been very active on a forum of a different 3D model store, but the guys running it seemed to be ignorant about the issue. CGT needs to get on Amazon a.s.a.p or partner with all the top leading commercial comps in order to make 3D more interesting to more buyers. Sales dropped to almost nothing. I used to hate how it would crash constantly or find that half way through the process even after saving a draft,suddenly the poly count numbers or other text, numbers etc suddenly got erased. Hello. Just condemn this type of fear tactics right-away and start supporting better organizations. Site issues? Turbosquid has a horrendous up-loader
