NONECG Shares 80 3D Models and Invites To Visit NYC in 3D

Insight
Featured post
  • If you look at the 3D model of New York City shared by NONECG, don't believe your eyes. I'm just back from NYC and can point 5 things that are missing:
  • yellow cabs
  • hod dog vendors
  • people
  • people
  • people

This is why we love CG: it allows us to build our own exclusive world and show it to others!

If we miss something in NY, we just add it, right? For us, 3D artists, it is not necessary even to climb to the Empire State Building to do that.

NONECG Shares 80 3D Models and Invites To Visit NYC in 3D 1

But I climbed :)


While I was off to NYC, NONECG shared ~80 excellent 3D models - New York City bloks and buildings, humans, animals, birds and the Statue of Liberty.

By the way, the Statue of Liberty is a living symbol of freedom to millions around the world. Last week when starring at it and listening to the audio tour I wondered how many 3D artists feel really free and respectable? Yes, we can create anything we want, but aren't we exploited by the middlemen when sharing our talent?

This is exactly the thought that led our team to build CGTrader.com platform:

You don’t want speculators or the middlemen to profit from your talent?

  • Do you know your buyers? Who uses the results delivered by your talent?
  • How do you feel when pay unfair taxes?

When we worked as designers for many years, we felt bad. So we decided to change the rules of the game and found the solution to eliminate middlemen from transactions.

Now at CGTrader.com:

  • artist gets full payment in seconds after someone completed the purchase;
  • artist gets all the value he created;
  • artist pays flat activation fee only after his/her 3D model is purchased and money is in his/her pocket: no money up-front;
  • if no sale - then no activation fee.

Fair, isn't it?

Let's get back to the NONECG, the cause of this post. They shared ~80 models last week that we put to the CGTRader.com site within 3 hours. How did we do that?

After discussing with several big vendors we decided to offer auto-publishing via FTP. Now all you need to do is to simply upload files via FTP and tell us where your products are published online. We will do the rest as we did with NONECG. Your products will be published and assigned to CGTrader account with all relevant information, preview images and file formats.
