i think that you must own the copyright of all elements you use in your renders (3d models and textures).
Maybe there are websites that allow you to use the textures for microstock, but i'm not sure about this.
Personally i use only textures created by me (procedurally or from my shots).
If you use C4D i think that's fine to use the texture library that come with the software.
Can you provide the law where that is written? i am kind of curious. The way you put it, it seems that people cannot even take a shoot of an ikea chair (which have design) or any other object in the world. I don't see people in movies own the copyright of all objects like sofas tv and so on that they buy for the film clip shoot. And i see a LOT of this objects being used in microstock clips.
Furthermore I can advance that there is no such thing in EU law that i am aware of it.
It's usually less about 'the law' and more about the terms of the sites in question... plus copyright law. i.e there's not really any law that says you can't do 'x' when it comes to your use of a texture/model, but there are license terms, and doing something with the item that isn't allowed means you've breached the terms of the license, so you don't have the right to use it. If you don't have the right to use something, it's then an issue of copyright law.
For example, the terms of TurboSquid:
You may NOT publish or distribute Creations of Imagery through another stock media clearinghouse, for example as part of an online marketplace for photography, clip art, or design templates.
So unless you've created your models and textures from scratch, you need to check the terms of service to see what is and what isn't allowed.
That's for models and textures... when it comes to household objects, products, logos etc, they're usually all covered by some form of copyright protection, and what's allowed will vary considerably on the item in question, how prominently it features in the shot, end usage etc etc... plus how stringently the stock site wants to apply those rules when accepting content.
That means that if I want to recreate a furnished room, the furniture designs must be unique, not similar to those of IKEA, for example? Would I have to create models that are different for example from those of IKEA?

Thanks! I create my own models, and use textures from C4D.

One of the things that makes FAA convenient is that you get your personal pixels.ccom site which is basically FAA store clone which you can use as a store implemented in your personal website or by app on page, or via link to your pixels store where only your work is shown.
EXCEPT for the little fact that when someone does a search on 'your' pixel site, the results come from the entire FAA collection, so any users you may attract are soon lured away
No it doesn't. That happens only on your FAA profile page. On your personal pixels.com site only your work shows up and nothing else.
I was 100% sure in this but I just checked again. Only your work shows up and its a huge +
It's happened in the past. Then a bunch of users complained on the forum there, and eventually it was fixed. I think this happened more than once.
I've been selling there for years, usually a few a month.
Really strange, Im there from 2013. and somehow it never happened to me, and Im on my account almost on daily basis so I would probably have noticed. That not happening is one of the main reasons i use FAA at first place because than the personal store would lose its purpose.
pixels does a nice display of your work, it's the search that lures people away
i noticed this when i first returned earlier this year & FAA acknowledged this was the case and went on to say pixels wasnt really meant for personal sites but to display the entire collection by all!
Once again we are not talking about pixels.com main site but personal pages you get to use as your own stores.
Here is a link to one random example store, anyone can try a top search and the only authors work you can get is the page owner. Try it yourself. It absolutely impossible to get anyone elses work. Which more prove do you need ?

Thanks! Yes , i can see and i figure out with your example and i can see my page in pixels.com, look https://1-alexander-sanchez.pixels.com/

...Ones reached the payout limit, I will not yet ask for the money! I wait until I reached the double and will ask to pay me the half of it. ...
In general, I would advise against leaving money with any agency once you can collect it.
There's only one place the money is within your control and that's when it's in your bank account. Interest rates are at the moment at historic lows, but more typically, someone will earn money on the balance in your account; I'd rather it be me and not the agency.
That's true!

Hi, I would like to know your experience about payout in Euros to Payoneer in Adobe Stock. I have Paypal account, but i would like to try with Payoneer. My payouts from Adobe Stock are in Euros.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, this can't be done. Payoneer is only available as an option for accounts based outside the United States but paid in USD. Accounts paid in Euro are not eligible for Payoneer access.
Kind regards,
Mat Hayward
Thanks!

What about Photo4Me, it sells well?

I have one pic there. Seemed like you had to get into a lot of likes to get likes back which might push your photos up in the rankings. The market is mostly UK, as far as I know.
Thanks!

I know about that. My problem is, I stay in Indonesia and take of course many photos from here, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
Where is a market for prints from landsscapes and other kind of PHOTOS based in Asia?
Any kind of FAA in Asia?
Thanks for your ideas.
And one other thing:
Mostly sold on FAA are not photographs, mostly real painted arts or strange motifs which of course only get sold in America.
Is there any kind of FAA, where PHOTOS for print sold more than others?
What about Photo4Me, it sells well?

Since around begin of 2020 my sales on Dreamstime had a very deep dive. No way that I could ever reach again that high payout balance of $100. So it took me several months to delete all my files one by one.
A few days ago I asked to close my account, and requested, to kindly pay-out my current earnings balance of $38.54.
But as expected Dreamstime denied me two times the pay-out of my hard-earned 'commission'.
In the dashboard I see, that my account is still active, not yet closed, but that my earnings balance is no more visible. Only if I search further I still can see this amount still showing up.
I guess this company is making a lot of money from photographers who cannot reach their payout limit, and see no other way than leaving it with them when quitting.
Finally I am happy, having left this platform. Their practice are almost scam-like.
This is just to inform guys in similar situation, not to expect any human considerations from Dreamstime.
Very sad situation!

Im sorry But after 25 years Plus selling Online I would never....."EVER" recommend FAA to sell anything Original I created. The Place is filled with IE...Idiots who see a Lennon Photo taken Before they were Born...Run it through a stupid filter and sell it as their "ART" Im sorry. That is not their art. I tried with my work when they started then bailed Out right away.
Sites Like this are nothing but an embarrassment. One of many guys.
Build your own site and do the promotion work. Thats what it takes.
WWW.Rinderart.com I sell a whole Lot of stuff to be used in TV shows ETC.....and I have contracts ready to be signed. Will Smiths daughter was My last Customer. She Paid $400.00 for the use of a Image.
Suggest Most of you get you heads out of Penny stock. It's over.Sorry.And been Over quite awhile if this is your Profession.
maybe, Just maybe there better at this now. Build a site and Promote it.Still the best way. but, It's a job.
https://www.microstockgroup.com/product-resale-forum/my-fine-art-america-account-is-closed/
Maybe FAA is better now. don't know.....Don't care.
How do you prevent your photos from being stolen?

Also be aware that FAA's main (not 'only') market is the US*, so you should prioritise providing material for them. The base prices (even without artist commission) seem very expensive to me (in the UK) but I've heard a few people say that the prices are fairly standard in the US market.
Be careful about believing too much of what they say, both officially and on their forum. Things aren't necessarily what they seem there.
That said, I've heard that the quality of purchased products is good, and I get a few sales there, so I just keep going.

The $30 fee is still there
https://fineartamerica.com/membershipplans.html
I stopped paying for several years (I didn't upload). I kept all the uploads I already had and received my payment on sales (just not the accessory commission you get if you're a "premium" member).
I wanted to add some more work there, so I re-upped my fee to allow me to upload again.
Thank you again!

I don't know Fine Arts America, but it sell for good price? Can i sell landscape photos i have in microstock there? People from Venezuela can sell there?
Thanks!
Aside from all the great answers from Jo Ann, it's simply a Print On Demand site, you upload your images, decide what prices (I use the default) they make the items, ship and credit you with a percentage. Wall Art
There is also the Pixels.com Sister site, with home decor, mugs, stationary, T-shirts. Everything you upload to FAA is mirrored on Pixels.
I have the free 25 account, which is a good way to see what you think of the site. They dropped the annual fee for the pay accounts, which makes this more interesting as an alternative. I'm thinking of something as a Winter project.
My 25 are selected as wall art, many are not on Microstock, some are a bit "artsy". Two sales large prints. Never a sale on Pixel yet but someone would have to want a panorama or scenic on their blanket or mug?
Thank you Uncle Pete !

I have to print the photos and send them, or someone else will do it in the Fine Art America web page give print service?
Fine Art America does all the printing and shipping. You just collect your share from them - they pay out on the 15th of each month automatically.
Thank you so much! You are very kind!

You can sell prints or print-on-demand items (tote bags, greetings cards, etc.) via Fine Art America and you get to set the markup. In other words, if their cost to print an item on canvas is $25, you get to set your markup (let's say $10) and the resulting price for the buyer is $35.
You can use microstock images - nothing is exclusive - but bear in mind what sells is something people want to look at (versus some of the useful shots that do well for stock agencies). I don't know of any reason they couldn't allow a contributor from Venezuela, but you have to be able to receive payments via PayPal.
https://fineartamerica.com/termsofuse.html?document=contributortermsofuse
If you start with a free account, you can only upload 25 items and see how things go. If you want to upload more, you need the premium account at $30 per year.
Thank you so much very kind Jo Ann Snover. I have another question. I have to print the photos and send them, or someone else will do it in the Fine Art America web page give print service? I would sell nature landscapes from Venezuela, and another South America countries. Thank you again!

Spain.
Yes, I have seen them. There are a lot of them, there is a very famous one who has a very long beard and he spends his time traveling all over the world depending on why he sells stocks and pays them for travel. I speak spanish, i'm from Venezuela. But anothers youtubers from Spain clearly said that uploading photos to Freepik and Shutterstock is no longer worth it. Victims are naive people who want to get started in microstock. They act like "Wall Street Wolf".

In my country there are youtubers telling how they make a lot of money in freepik or stocksy. They are pro with expensive stuff, studios and people working for them. You can see that they are able to spend a lot of money in production.
Looks like a pyramidal scam, I don't understand why they are telling this.
Which is your country?

« on: September 15, 2020, 15:37 »
Somewhere, someone is still telling people, this is a good way to make extra money?
Yeah, all the experts with their how to blogs and books. 
Don't forget about youtubers who say you will be rich with microstock bussines.
