Most demanded car model category at the moment?

Hey guys,so this whole model stealing thing sparked my curiosity and I did a little digging and turns out there are programs through which you can rip models from games easily with textures. A few months back someone texted me on the jobs section asking whether I can program software through which they can download paid models for free from here just like on Sketchfab.To be frank these thieves are really getting on my nerves. I think the best thing we can do is make assets like brushes, materials, decals, and addons, etc. which cant be stolen.....this sux x_x

And the absurdity continues.
Typing "ferrari f8" into search box and guess which model is placed on 1th position.

@PhantomDesign How can such thief repeatedly create account? To be paid you must send scan/photo of your ID/passport. So he is repeatedly using same documents? Or he has multiple fake IDs?
Or he didn't provide ID and he is not being paid.

@zabotlama I just checked it and it's so wrong, the model looks so good, just like the others. It's obvious that people will go for the cheap one, I hope these thieves get banned forever but cgtrader just doesn't seem to care.
@rakuyo as @zabotlama mentioned try modeling old models from the 90s, these cars have a lot of character and story and to be honest, I love cars from the 90s. You could also try JDM's, in my opinion, these sell alot too.

Agree with PhantomDesign.
Search for example "porsche taycan". You will get suspicious 13$ model of scanned accuracy on 1th position. Model placed on better position than other correctly priced models.
So if you want to succeed in cars category you must produce extremely high-quality models for banana prices. :-(((

If you are beginner forget cars in general. To be able to sell car models here you have to be on a very very high level because competition is very strong. First you have to beat legit competition (legit artists), after that you have to beat thieves, and trust me, no one can beat laser scanned 3d model stolen from a video game which are selling here for 2$. It's just isn't worth the effort and time to fight against that. The only thing you can do is to model cars that aren't availabe to thieves and because of that aren't available on sale here, which is science for itself.

Hi there,
I checked trending car models a few days back and it was Mercedes Benz. I would suggest making sports genre from the brand and not SUV or minivans etc.
Hope this helps :)
