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 ;-) There are currently no models in your cart. 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. However, fear of losing sales kept me both on Ts and CGt for long time (not liked it). If any of you think this is a show of strength from Matt Wisdom and his Corporate brother Andy, think twice. When I asked why they don' want pay for that they have suspended my products ( 428) products they did not say anything after. If the buyer decided to buy after inspecting a sample, the seller would deduct the sample price from another 3d model. When a buyer leaves a bad rating for a lame reason , TS investigate and contact the buyer and if he doesn't give a serious explanation, I think CGT should begin doing the same and promoting people for being exclusive to CGT after all that will help buyer confidence when they realize how many of their best artists are switching sides! Without checkmate Turbosquid would have gone out of business. I removed the download limit until we update the protection so that buyers can download much larger quantities of free models. Maybe it is unnecessary complex? So even if TS takes 60%, I still make better profit there because here I get 94% of nothing. I will leave the items here to see if cg trader does manage to change things around over the next 12 months and if not will simply sell them on turbosquid. Thanks once again! 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. Uploading new product is so much more intuitive and easier than TS. And reasons can be any. On Ts we get served for extreme large cost and rather badly frankly said. TurboSquid is garbage. Turbosquid just has it backwards. 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. The motivation to backlink and make marketing efforts for the own store (and the collective trademark ad the same time) would probable also increase. I read here on the forum can't remember if it was Iterate CGI or someone else said that CGTrader will soon sell on Amazon and I can't wait for it to happen!! That basically says paying customers aren't allowed access to supposedly "free" items. The very best thing I find on CGT is the disponibility of the team. The rumour that they can "borrow" models for check-out before buy to particularly trustworthy clients could also be true. Turbosquid has too many models This is not a "fight" between NoneCG and Turbosquid, but a struggle between different ways of doing business: the classic closed market or a more open one based on a Fair Business model and full comunication between the producer, the marketer and the customer. Using TurboSquid products in Browser based games. This is new era, time of old fashioned corporatism is going to be over. "TurboSquid Support, Jun 20, 08:14 SST: They have more traffic so i'm told. Got my model (https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/furniture/cabinet/handles-vol-01-pbr) However, probably allot of us silently disagree on how we are treated as artist on places like Ts. 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. I can easily imagine that serious clients who value their time very high, might choose TS over CGT without second thought. A few months went by with my models offline and during that time my GCt sales gradually went up at a level consistent with the few sales I had left behind on Ts so I just deleted all my models at Ts. To be honest, when I first found this site a few days ago I was really excited. Hey there, 4. Needed something better and found it at CGt. (just playing with ideas here) I'm even considering seriously closing my store here. Hello, I still get more sales on TS, despite having adjusted all prices to compensate their extortions. I'm not sure about your analysis. You want to put it in your store but it obviously needs some work to make it marketable. CG Trader is easier to navigate, more stimulating perhaps than turbo squid. And CG Trader offers up to 94% royalty rate, where as Turbo Squid gives I believe 60% royalty rate CG Trader more open than Turbo Squid, and when registering, requires less personal information. Considering it as a seller, CGTrader is NOT better because I have almost no sales at all while I have about 10 sales every month on TS. As we think that CGtrader holds the best core for these kind of improvements, I would like to hear the opinion of Marius or any other CGtrader representative about the ideas recently proposed in this forum, specially: i like the points system on cg trader . After 60 days, we will put your content back online. So what's needed? I wish someday Turbosquid disappear or bankrupt. https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/woman/female-hand-realistic https://www . [/quote] I am new starter here. I'm just dreading that sober moment when TS offers to buy CGT to kill off the competition. The same goes for student projects. Search is terrible, and lost if you have to go backwards a page. I was thinking of ok if the ts is shit why not using other marketplace with the cgt specially if both accept selling in other marketplace, You have zero 3D models uploaded here. For small buyers this is likely the case, but serious corporate buyers may have other priorities atop of lowest price. Then they would only find the relevant models and get to purchasing them right away. I don't know whether it would be possible to implement, but it would stop those who just wanted to download as many free models as possible. If you have any questions about these. They say you can price things anyway you want but then they take down your models if they do not agree with how you price them. 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 . Often offer to buy the models in 1020 times more expensive than the price at which the model was exhibited for sale. "This is new era, time of old fashioned corporatism is going to be over. So, CGT is the best guys ! I do agree with you regarding the search engine. Search is terrible, and lost if you have to go backwards a page. If you are doing really bad with sales they let you do whatever you want but if you are doing well they step in and make things difficult. I have always been amazed at how TS can pull off their selling stunt, I've got better stuff AND cheaper on here than on TS but the sales over there totally dominate. 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. I agree that these two parts - CG and 3D printing should be split at least externally/ visually. They already sell 3D printers on amazon so it isn't a far stretch to just add the models in the suggested items that go with 3D printers. I have to agree. As someone suggested most serious buyers will end up buying 100 bucks worth of models so putting down 1 Dollar isn't going to cause any trouble. I really think that a "designer good practices charter" or something like that could help. Same for me, here. You need to find what you want based on category and budget and purchase it quickly so you can use the product or send it to who will. They have a CheckMate program which gives you a higher percentage back from selling your model. Personally, I felt I in no way infringed on said IP. CGTrader has the better platform from my point of view, better rates if i remember correct. I would like to see similar stats from other sellers, but CGtrader has been the 3D marketplace with the higher increase in sales for us without a doubt. I wanted to test if clients compare sites (eventually wanted to avoid clients would use the expensive Ts platform to get my items). Maybe they should just smack up one big "We're cheaper than TurboSquid" banner and push it into Google Ads? $300 + (280) $200 to $300 (315) $100 to . Rigged models are great for art projects, games, movies or VR experiences, because they save a lot of development time. Right now, low quality models flooding this site are attracting the low budget people - that's certainly why high quality objects with pricings in accordance don't sell that much. When I started on cgtrader I had more sales than on TS. Work directly with a 3D artist for your project. 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. I was victim of that there a few months ago, I had a bad rating when the model have never had a problem during many years. Considering it as a seller, CGtrader is NOT better because I have almost no sales at all while I have about 10 sales every month on TS. Plus, if you express constructive ideas on the forums, you know you'll get listened to.

I think this game can only be won by the best community building force and that is CGt. 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. I think posting links to showcase your model in an animation or to show how a rig works is extremely advantageous. This would be a really good way of encouraging buyers to come spend their money on CGtrader where they can find what they want faster than on other sites. It is pretty difficult to find what you want but if you are only looking for free models then CGTrader's search engine is far better than Turbosquid. Imagine how much resorces and efforts are used by those clowns for this greedy Best price quality nonsense. 3D 3D Photorealistic Female Rigged - TurboSquid 1789052 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 would even make the prediction that most of what will be left of Ts (following months) are the exclusive sellers, they will probably get very frustrated and come over here no matter what deals they made with Ts. CGtrader might have better conditions, rules and everything but it's useless if it doesn't attract more buyers. - Do you think that a company like Turbosquid, managed by/for corporate funding with clear monopolistic intentions is more likely to improve your situation as a content creator in the future? I agree structural arrangements need to be done to support this bud it needs to be done in a way so it supports the main axiom of openness. Imagine if CGtrader provided a service where they could get photos of the broken mug, then have some artists create a 3D version from the broken pieces and then have it printed for the client and sent to their house or if the client wants they can use their 3D printing company of preference to do it.

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. Of those limited people just a hand full would actually buy models or put money towards models so if TS already has won those people we need to find our own nitch or we go out of business. 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? flob3d: I don't know if Jonathan invented the CheckMate, but what I can say is that Jonathan is a good professional and he often helped me a lot, so I have no complaints to make. 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. I can see how 3D modeling and 3D printing can be connected, but even that has to have a clear border for the customer. i think they both have there place . But if you are on Turbosquid as an exclusive sale (models will be sold only on the website TurboSquid), Cgtrader can lose and this position, in favor of TS How about the Royalty Rate??? That takes longer time. Payment Method TS beside ripping off taxes have a terrible support, I just was told in the civilized manner to F OFF, as I complained on an admin who kept my 3D model suspended for over 4 days. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/cgtrader.com, https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/exterior/landmark/notre-dame-de-paris-cathedral-61d97afb1b1a62861673c23f15b75c12, https://www.facebook.com/ActiveKetoGummiesAustraliaWebsite. TS staff do their best and is not responsible for the strategic choice of TS In place already. Site issues? I think John Hoagland already pointed out very well the most direct benefits of doing business with Cgtrader over Turbosquid. Unlike Turbosquid which has remained practically the same since it was created and that actually has become dodgier over time as they have been adding more and more hoops for artists to jump through just to upload a basic model CGT has been great about constantly listening to it's artists needs and made great improvements! CG Trader. Noise Treshold: Please don't get impression that i'm trying to bash CGT, i don't i favor CGT over TS any day, but i want that they up their game in this concurent buisness. Large studios with "turbosquid" collaborate very limitedly. There are currently no models in your cart. 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. Its great way to compete and fair . I hope it goes well for cgtrader i really like this page :-). If you have any questions about these. Here it is quite seamless and elegant. CGTrader / TurboSquid Female Advanced Model - Free Daz 3D Models (2034950) 3D For example, I ran into this this morning. Renderosity. To my amazement something ells also happened, there where still a few people buying my more expensive models on Ts. 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. The Ts model does not support such thing and is not up to the task of modern time needs for this industry. 60% cut could be ok if that cost could be added to the product but price guarantee makes that impossible. It takes way too long to put up any files. 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. Add a Payment Method, Add a Payment Also, trying to find an item that I already saw through the search is near impossible. Being an artist himself makes a huge difference in this regard. Old thread but still relevant, do yourself a favour and cut back on the seafood, delete TS bookmarks and make progress here. When someone uploads a scanned model for 3D printing and tags it as "low poly", the model will appear even where it shouldn't. Same for me, here. - CGTrader pays a LOT more than TS; TS *keeps* 60% unless you sell exclusively on their site and join their "Squid Guild". Doing the same at Turbosquid feels as dreadful as applying for a driver's license.
