Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué son los conjuntos de datos de modelos 3D y cómo se utilizan en el aprendizaje automático y la IA generativa?
The Essentials catalog is curated from models provided by participating designers and selected by CGTrader to support everyday creative needs. Assets are included based on quality and usability criteria, with regular category reviews—so you get a reliable library of high-quality 3D assets for real projects.
Why aren’t all models included in Essentials?
The Essentials subscription includes models selected for practical use, variety, and repeat value. More advanced or highly specialized assets remain available for individual purchase, so you can choose exactly what fits your project. This keeps Essentials affordable and flexible, offering strong value for what you need most.
Why are downloads limited to 25 per month?
The 25-download limit is designed to support active creators and small teams working across multiple projects. It gives you broad access across categories while helping keep the subscription fair and sustainable for both users and designers. If you reach the limit, you can still purchase additional models individually.
¿Cómo se asegura de que los conjuntos de datos se obtienen de forma ética y respetan los derechos de los diseñadores?
Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time. You’ll keep access until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.
The subscription runs on a 12-month commitment and includes a 45-day grace period. If you cancel within the first 45 days, there’s no early cancellation fee. After that, an early cancellation fee may apply. You can find full details in our Terms & Conditions.
What happens to my downloaded models when my subscription ends?
Models you downloaded during your subscription can still be used in projects you started while your subscription was active — those are yours to see through to completion.
However, you won't be able to use them in new projects once your subscription ends. If you want to use previously downloaded models in new work, or re-download them, you'll need to reactivate your subscription or purchase them individually on CGTrader.
How is this different from buying models individually?
With a subscription, you get fixed-price access to up to 25 models per month, which is a more cost-effective way to cover high-volume needs. Individual purchases remain available for models outside the subscription catalog.
When does my subscription start and end?
Your subscription begins once your payment is confirmed and stays active for the full term selected at checkout. An annual plan runs for one year. If you cancel renewal, you’ll keep access until the end of your paid term.
Does my subscription renew automatically?
Yes. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period. When you subscribe, you authorise us to store your payment method and charge it on each renewal date. You will be charged the current plan fee along with any applicable taxes. If pricing changes, you will be notified in advance and can cancel before the new price applies.
