I am so grateful for this information, It will be very useful for my next 3d project selection! But,it would be so nice if CGTrader told us more about what is selling better. Whether Low-poly models focusing on video-game consoles or Hires models for motion graphics, etc. Thanks

Wow, amazing chart!!! :D Will be using this very soon! :D

Good idea MarbleDoll3D! We'll take that into account going forward.

That`s great, thx thx thx! But unfotunatley I havnt`t got the e-guide for subscribing. Is it possible, if you send it to my email adress? (hermann_fleischmann@web.de) Thanks

Lame! no e-guide in my email! ... seems like a quick con to me!

I filled in your form ten hours ago, but I haven't received any e-guide...

This is a great chart. Thanks for making it available. I think too many sellers think they'll get a best selling product simply by listing it for $10 without thinking about any other factors. Though I wonder about the "number of sales images" chart. Who has time to make 35-39 images, especially of a character or building? How does someone make the images unique? I would also suggest you add a disclaimer that says something like: Just because "character/ human" are the top sellers, this doesn't guarantee that a given product will become a best seller. The products that sell the most have a combination of all the factors shown on the page: they're high-quality, they have a fair price (meaning not $10), they have a large number of sales images, they may have a 3D preview, and they may come from a seller who has over 100 models in their catalog. So, this means that John New Merchant shouldn't expect his first product to become a best-seller just because he's uploading a human figure.

Thanks for the chart. I filled in the form several times, but I didn't received your guide. I tried with Firefox and IE just in case. Could you please send it to my email adress?

Hi! We are finalising the e-guide but no worries your email is on the list. You should receive it early next week! Nevertheless you should have received a notification confirming your request. Thanks for letting us know we'll fix this asap. All the best, JB

Good idea about the disclaimer John, we'll take that into account!

I've been occupied with another project, though, at some point, I do plan on getting back to modeling, animating, and selling my models. I do have to wonder, though, have I been underpricing my models?

Hi, I don`t wanna be annoying, But when will the e-guide finnaly be done?

Fine analitic!

Hi Herman! The e-guide was published few weeks ago. You should have it in your mailbox :)

Very usefull analitic!

Nice info!

its fresh info?

Thank you so much, its an old post but can be helpful today!

i beg to differ, the only people selling anything on this site as far as characthers/vehicles/photorealistic assets are high end profesional modelers/sellers who are out of ideas so they prowl our profiles and make awesome versions of our stuff. They dont buy your model, they just look at the previews copy your model ( except twith their skill it look 10 times better) and they get to sell and make the money that should be in your pocket. Other than that kitbash sets of 300+parts is what sells here and those are intended for cheap lazy people who wont buy not even hardops/boxcutter in blender, everything else sells once every 6-10 months at best. Also what actually works even better than "getting good and copying lower tier people's stuff" is to privately message random people and ask them to like your models , the more likes you rack on that model the higher up you goon the list, nobody wants to click on page 15 to buy your model. you need to be in the first three pages for the category of your item because after three page clicks the buyer is most likely to tweak his search term.

Very good, but i think CGT has to re-update its post to 2023 trends
