Great news! 3D Systems Corporation has acquired The3dStudio.com. You can read the full press release here: http://www.the3dstudio.com/blog_detail.aspx?id=2903

Matt�s blog post http://www.the3dstudio.com/blog_detail.aspx?id=2904 has additional info. If you have questions he didn�t address, please let us know by commenting on Matt�s blog post or via the contact form on our site, or email us. As you can imagine, it�s a very busy time here in Mesa so we might not have time to check the forums for a while.

All the family members who owned and operated The3dStudio.com will continue to provide fast and personal customer service. Seller royalties remain the same (60% minimum) and our programs such as Member Loyalty, Buyer Rewards, Affiliate, and Exclusive Pricing are still in place.

We accepted the offer from 3D Systems because they are a successful company with amazing leadership and they have the resources to allow us to grow and expand. We have many ideas and dreams for The3dStudio.com and we are excited about being able to move forward with them much sooner now that we are part of 3D Systems.

The latest website upgrade at The3dStudio.com is the addition of larger preview images which can now be up to 600x600 pixels in size. The new size is absolutely huge when compared to the older 400x400 pixels preview images. All existing Stock Photos/Images will be switched over to the newer 600px size in the next few days, and all new products added to The3dStudio.com will automatically upload to this new size.

A few days ago the Reports section was updated. It�s now much easier for Member Sellers and Member Affiliates to run all the reports offered at The3dStudio.com. In addition, a new report called "Referral Sales Earned" was added for all Member Affiliates who refer Member Sellers to The3dStudio.com. This new report will show all referral commissions for any time period. They can be grouped by day, month, or year and the Member can see in real time all their lifetime referral sales.

The size of profile pictures that appear in blog posts and author searches have also been increased. Members can now upload images up to 350x350 pixels (reducing anything larger automatically).

Matt is still working on even more upgrades.
