So, CGT is the best guys ! This market is changing rapidly and Ts is not adapting to the evolution of connectedness within the global CG community. 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! I still get more sales on TS, despite having adjusted all prices to compensate their extortions. Lots of people buy posters to print and put on their walls especially students. On TS buyer cant do such thing, he needs to contact support on TS. We all agree that CGT is the better site and needs to win the fight but we all need to reach out to the really influential people and make sure they start promoting the site or we won't win. @interate CGI . TS going down. 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. CG Trader is easier to navigate, more stimulating perhaps than turbo squid.

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. So true! Turbosquid is the exact opposite. I started uploading some of my items to cg trader to see if it generated any income but as I have 70+ items and 0 sales I have decided to stop. I see what you mean but I think it depends on how you are covering markets. BUT this is still not as infuriating as a personal account falling once a month with all the statistics!

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. It seems to me that over time a CGTrader will be able to overtake TurboSquid in many positions, if TS does not change its policy. Luckily, non of my sells on TS were refunded so far and i had 3 refunds on CGT, 2 of them was caused by technical reasons from CGT side. Regarding sales, for me personally CGtrader is in lead with a small margin for almost 5 months in row now, I'm confident the difference will get even bigger (so let's be realistic Ts sales is dropping dramatically). Yes indeed! Thanks for dropping by and great news about an eventual homepage re-design. If CGT wants to play big and attract high quality traffic and designers/buyers, it has to invite the sellers to opt for a more mature approach in my humble opinion. This is why I would opt for a system which includes human sorting out capabilities. Personally, I felt I in no way infringed on said IP.

That definitely wasn't me hoe said that turbo. If a company like Disney or NASA buys a model at TS, they advertise it as "Turbosquid customers buying Turbosquid models". 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. 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. I think that subsequently only large studios and squidguild members will remain there" It still remains a puzzle to me, were those few now actually using their CGt account because there was no other way or did I just lose those and just gained some new clients from somewhere ells? [http://www.google.com|google11] 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) I'm just dreading that sober moment when TS offers to buy CGT to kill off the competition. Based on those traffic stats CGtrader would clearly benefit from more advertisement out there. Apart from this it would be nice to have a system that promotes collaborative action to make the products themselves better. I deleted my products here and joined sguild again, no reason for staying here. They may not end up following your ideas, but they will certainly take them into account.

Turbosquid has a horrendous up-loader 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. Cgtrader cannot compare to certain 3d markets. I can't download that lamp and see it's quality myself - so why would I purchase anything from the creator when I don't know if I'll be satisfied? We even stopped publishing new models there.
