Does photodune accept vectors in upload? (I'm using FTP)

Not that I'm aware of. Only JPGs can be uploaded there (photos and raster illustrations).

I'm fairly sure you would have to upload your vectors to Graphicriver.

But I strongly advise against that as they price your image based on their criteria which are completely random.

I tried a few things out on Graphicriver and the price they set for my stuff is just insulting.

It's basically 3D renders that I offer as isolated, layered PSDs or PNGs.

So a high res 3D render let's say with 5000x5000 pixels sold at Photodune which goes for $9 in the highest resolution could easily be priced at $3 on Graphicriver as an isolated PSD file.

Upsetting.

Thanks for the help. All the arbitrary pricing stuff you just mentioned applies to Graphic river, though, not photodune?

The commission is the same across all Envato sites, at least for non-exclusives (33%).

On Photodune the pricing is based on the resolution not on the complexity of the illustration.

I honestly don't know if they support clipping paths for all image sizes which would make things at least a little better for us contributors.

I haven't had one illustration approved on Graphicriver with a price "higher" than Photodune's largest file for $9.

In fact my highest priced image on Graphicriver is a PSD file with 30 isolated 3D objects for $7

Each of the 30 objects are on sale individually at Istock for up to $30 pay as you go, at least with clipping path.

The collection would cost a buyer $900 which I understand is not economical when the entire set is required.

$50 for the set would be fair in my opinion but $7?

I'm just running a test there to see how the few files I have there perform but I'm not confident that I will continue to upload to Graphicriver.
