General Stock Discussion / Why can't we do this? - Microstock Coop« on: October 07, 2013, 04:18 »
Hi,
I see many people are part of the microstock industry and also running their own personal website to sell images. Symbiostock has really helped us and many to bring an individual presence and direct selling model. I want to share some views (my personal and no offence)... Contributors: 1- We are seeing many new websites coming in the market. Many survive and many not. Contributors gets invitations to join them in their initial phase with some benefits. We then review the site, discuss the royalty rates and tell the pros and cons of the new site in this forum. 2- We usually discuss regarding the royalty rates. As we can see within top tier companies, there is no fair commission rate. And we then read on news that companies has generated so much revenue and earning. 3- We are seeing less sales from past many months and this is gradually increasing. Many members are discussing regarding low sales on forums. Buyers: 1- Buyer are getting confused from where to buy now. So many companies with so many offers. 2- Buyer gets even more confused when they get to know that there are even more individual symbiostock websites. 3- There is lot of supply with limited demands. My views: Since, there are many good people out in this msg forum who are constantly active. We are aware about the royalty structure and no fair contributor commission. Why cannot we make a group and launch a website which allow every users a fair chance as well as fair commission. Lets bring all the individual sellers and unite them to a new "our" community generated website from where buyers can directly buy from us and we also give a very good royalty % commission. All there will be a running expenses of annual maintenance charge and some marketing and SEO expenses. There could be a small investment on website building etc. This platform will also provide a one shop destinations for buyers as well as a fair commission to us. Let there be any good person to lead and handle this website from here msg forums and create and select team from here only. We know that buyers wants images and we also know we want fair commission. Let me know your views on it. admin edit: added more descriptive subject 1054

General Stock Discussion / Re: Do you contribute to Depositphotos?« on: August 16, 2013, 00:23 »I have around 1,000 images with them. The only thing that's really buggy is the way that you have to edit and process your images after upload. That part is a bit of a pain. Not sure... infact I find uploading in depositphotos the easiest one... I do with FTP and its very easy... 1060

My previous December was terrible, due to late approval of my batch. My Christmas files got approved after Christmas was gone. No cookie for me. Entire sale went down at that time. Hope for good this December. 1063

Shutterstock.com / Re: review time up at SS« on: July 04, 2013, 04:54 »Mine got reviewed faster than expected and rejected faster than expected. Sure, maybe some deserved it, but isolated objects with almost no blank space around them rejected for composition? Silhouettes rejected for lighting? I wonder if this is courtesy of some new software? There may be reason for this. 132,156 new stock images added this week. Since review time has corrected now due to which a huge number of files are now coming online now per week. By rejecting images they are now looking for better quality so that they can maintain their per week ratio. 1065

But now it is super corrected. The latest review of my batch took not more than 11hours.Lucky you! Not sure what could be the case. Happened to me yesterday... uploaded in early morning and was approved later in evening. The First-in and First-out depends to which reviewer the batch went to. 1066

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Uploading vector soo complicated« on: June 24, 2013, 12:21 »Hey CGartist! Thankyou David, I never thought that I could use deepmeta for vectors as when I went to the website.. it clearly said. "Vector/Flash/Video/Audio contributors cannot (yet) upload through the software, but can nevertheless use all other features." so never tried this. But now I will be trying it out and see how it goes. I hope that this reduces time consumption. 1069
iStockPhoto.com / Uploading vector soo complicated« on: June 24, 2013, 11:49 »
Why uploading vectors are so complicated in iStock.... I have to upload vectors one by one and have to manually insert metatags... It takes lot of time...
Is there any other way of uploading or I am lacking something..?? 1070

Shutterstock.com / Most Popular Should Update...« on: May 24, 2013, 10:38 »
There was a time in year 2009-2010 when most popular use to update on daily basis and the images also use to get reviewed in daily basis.
But now it seems(although they are experimenting) that most popular do not updates soon. Sometimes they remain same for years too. I wish that shutterstock should look at this thing and allow most popular to update on either daily or weekly basis. This will give fair chance to everyone to get in popular line. Let me know what you ppl think about it. 1073

Software - General / Re: Any artist working on 3d ?? Need a help« on: May 07, 2013, 23:48 »3D Software + X amount of machines is the simple answer. I am currently owning just one machine with core i7 processor with 8 cores. I recently rendered a file which took around 2.5hrs for complete render. I want this task to speed a little, as I was researching for network renders I found that people use one machine and network it with others and use all their power to render things. I do not want to contact rendering farms right now, instead was planning to get 1 high performance CPU or whatever required to speed up my processes. I was wondering that how much can it cost me and what will be the configuration of the machine. 1075
Software - General / Any artist working on 3d ?? Need a help« on: May 07, 2013, 01:37 »
Hi,
Yesterday I was watching a webinar regarding rendering. The speaker said that he is doing network rendering. He was using 24Cores CPU and 2 AMD machines at backend. I have heard a lot about network rendering and rendering farms. I was wondering that how network rendering is setup and what are the requirements for it and how much will it cost? Thanks. |
