Just uploaded some of my photos this past weekend and already got my first sale on the3Dstudio, $7.20, what a difference from the subscription kings, I think I'm going to like it there.  ;D

It would have taken longer just to get my uploads reviewed on all the other sites.

Once again, advertising it here will only help the site. You should expect a decrease in your earnings as the contributor base grows.

Thanks Goldenangel!...I'm sure sales will be coming your way soon  ;D

@cidepix, the advertising was done already by other members before me, so I don't think my $7 will inspire anyone new, but you're right though  ;)

You know what! I think 3dstudio might be downloading your(the people of this forum) images so you can come here and talk about the sales. It would have been money spent on advertising for them  :D

I hope the sales continue for you guys but I wouldn't bet my money on it just yet.

That's a bit cynical, but if we take you suggestion as a general practice for new start-ups why would The3Dstudio scrap the payment level, it is a lot better than some other new start-ups where Artists have uploaded and reporting sales with a few cents and suggesting they may reach payout in 18 months, at least we know that some artists will be paid at the end of the month.

I have also had a sale this month of a cake called a Belguim Bun a $8.00 sale of which $4.80 is my cut, so in 5 Weeks and 3 Days, I now have 8 Sales with a total commission of $43.20, and as there is no lower payout level for PayPal, if we do not get another sale myself, m@m and the others here that have sales will get a payout at the month end, a much better feeeling than the frustration when you have revenue from sales, have not reached the payout level and are fearfull that a site that has sold your assets might not be trading by year end.

The3dStudio, 30% commission, 20% affiliate Sales, 5% refferals, and 'Sales', no brainer for me  ::)

From my 14 refferals 11 are now active contributors and I hope they all sell many images ;D

Once again, advertising it here will only help the site. You should expect a decrease in your earnings as the contributor base grows.


I have had this comment directed at me a couple of times as I am pro-active in supporting The3DStudio, it is a chicken and egg situation, they have some customers but limited assets of the type we supply, if we help supply the assets then the demand may grow, the difference for me is that they do not need to build a library of 300,000 images quickly and then go out and try to attract customers, so an initial boost then a more organic growth of suppliers and customers will likely suit them better, will we wind up with some of that egg on our faces only time will tell, but it looks less of a risk that some other ventures.
