For my stock animations I use 3D models that I created myself . But I need more complex 3D objects.. I would like to buy some 3d objects/models, is this possible? Or I must created all by myself? Which license allows this? Is there some page that sells this?
Tnx
You have to check the license. I use Turbosquid.

I got that double tax thing to. And an answer from support:
"The sales page has a bug where some sales are shown in the wrong month. It's a timezone issue which is already on the list for the engineering team. The reports that we use to generate the payouts come directly from the database, so they're the 'source of truth'. Hopefully sometime this year we'll get the sales page fixed up. Sorry for the confusion. "
To which I responded that that was unacceptable. I can buy a timezone issue if one or two sales are missing from one month and are in the next or something. This is more than $100. Actually $300 over three months missing. If you can't trust the sales page ....

The forum has content that I like very much, so I came to learn more knowledge.
And your reply is relevant to this conversation how?
Or are you just building up to offering links to some spam site?
Mr. "Two Posts"? A spammer? Say it ain't so.

I had another incorrect payment this month, for April. Anyone else? Off by more than $100.

Seems some photos nicked from SS have been bought - or at least watermark removed - but not all. Istock and Adobe still clearly watermarked....! 
I would say this falls into a citation exception to copyrights, so it's fair use so long as the author is named. The ones that don't name the author seem to be embedded social posts.
There's no such thing as a 'citation exemption'.

Yes, and if you buy a 1 coin image today with the coin you bought yesterday, you've lost $.25 instead of buying it today. No company is going to play games like that.

"If someone can see that an image is mine (like easily can be done now, as a lot of editor write the author and the agency where image come from...) how can this give access to my wallet?"
It doesn't give access to your wallet. But if they have your ID, they can search the blockchain for all your sales. That's my beginner understanding of it. I read XRP groups and they have pages that list (by ID, although they don't know who belongs to what ID) who holds the most coins, etc.
I still don't see any benefit to all of this.

So, if this transaction is between the buyer and seller, why do they get 15%?

What is new is inside the blockchain system.
You will have no more need to put your transactions in a middle centralized ledger. You can control where and when your work is used, no more thief no more search around the web
OK, please explain to me in words of one syllable how the blockchain stops thieves from lifting legitimately purchased files from the websites they were purchased for, which is how most thefts occur.
And isn't this just a Wemark ledger? What if I want to join another blockchain site. Don't I have to reupload everything into their ledger?

The blockchain give you the key, exactly as you work as an agency by yourself. You have a decentralized database, and, just to give you an example, none will be able to costrain you to lowering price or put your work in "special discount offer".
This is a great (and, I think) revolutionary business model, far far away from any other agencies model.
How do I "control where and when my work is used" if it is an RF license? And if it is just that I write my own license, how is that different from any other self hosted shop. Like Photoshelter (again), I have my own license. I'm also not constrained to any price and I can offer discounts. So, again, you're not telling me anything groundbreaking here.

But this is really the new business model that everyone is asking for.
What's new about it? They host the image, they take a cut when you sell an image, the buyer gets an image. I'm not seeing anything groundbreaking here, aside from the bookkeeping behind the scenes. Like I said, I get a better rate on Photoshelter for the same thing.

TGE = Token generation event. It's listed on the road map at the bottom of token page.
Well, like so many startups on here, you can all laugh at me next year when you're rich.
Right? I still don't get this. There doesn't appear to be a USP here, so I'm not sure why buyers would go there or to any of these. Looking at the about page on the site: "Wemark is not a stock photo agency - Photographers licence their photo directly to customers with no middleman involved, hence customers get better prices." - Well, they are a "middleman" because they're taking a cut. Even though being "not a photo agency" gets them out of any responsibility for anything. And there's no guarantee anyone gets "better pricing". "Know exactly who licensed your photos" - How do you "know" who licensed your photo? Isn't "the blockchain" anonymous? How does this help me in any way? "Keep full rights on your photos" - I already keep full rights on my photos. "Digital currency instead of credits - As a next generation platform, Wemark supports its own digital currency. Wemark Tokens allow for both customers and photographers to become a part of the platform's economy and value." - Still not sure why I would want made up "money" in such a tiny niche. "Photographers earn more for their work - Wemark sets a new standard for stock photography royalties - photographers keep 85% of the photo sale price." - I host my work at Photoshelter. I get 89% of the sale price, so .... I'm still not sure what problem any of this solves. Or if it actually solves it. Work is still hosted, it must be searchable, it must be sold, it must be paid for.

Go to the admin page for your portfolio and see if it is there.

They don't send any confirmation.

They've been giving me a bunch of silliness lately. The last one was that the name photographer and the name on my account have to be the same. Which has no legal standing, and is crazy, because I list my business as the name on my account, and I am the photographer, as I am a person.

That is one juicy lawsuit waiting to happen. You don't get to steal somebody else's license and bandwidth just because you "credit" them.

I've now sent two emails with no response. I'd like to check my April payment for March as well, but the admin payout page hasn't updated. The last thing it shows is the March 7th payout.

Mine too. Thanks for the heads up. Two hours after I send an email of course, lol.

Waiting for mine from the 1st as well.

More than happy to, my name is Tom Oswald and I am the founder of the site
Thanks! That will help us target any questions.

"We are also..."
Since you stopped by, why don't you fill us in on who you are, instead of being anonymous?

Dear Getty,
Is kicking out one of your top producing photographers because he blew the whistle on you giving images away fair?
@jjneff: Which photographer and which event are you refering to?
That'd be me, I assume.
