Hello! Updating a model on CGTrader and adding new files while ensuring customer convenience is essential. Let’s break it down:
Edit Option:
Using the edit option is a straightforward way to update your model. However, as you mentioned, customers might not notice the changes.
When you edit a model, it doesn’t necessarily trigger a notification for previous buyers.
Creating a New Version:
Creating a new version of your model can be more effective. Here’s how:
Upload a New Model: Upload a new model with the updated files. Make sure the formats remain consistent.
Link the Versions: In the new model’s description, mention that it’s an updated version of the previous one. Provide a link to the original model.
“Updated” Label: Some models have an “updated” label. You can request this from CGTrader support or check if it’s automatically applied based on changes.
Notify Customers: Reach out to your previous buyers. Send them a message or update the original model’s description to inform them about the new version.
Customer Access to Code:
To ensure easy access to code:
Include All Files: In the new version, include all relevant files (including code files) in a single download.
Clear Naming: Name your files clearly. For example, if you have code files, use names like “ModelName_Code.py” or “ModelName_Code.zip.”
Readme or Instructions: Add a readme file or instructions within the model. Explain where the code files are located and how customers can access them.
