Hi ! I'm talking to CGT staff but members as well.
It would be really cool in the next update if you make a feature allowing the 3D artists to download their own models.
I know it has already be mentioned many times but it would be really cool, because it's tiring to have to put a model to 0 $ for a few seconds, download the model, and reput the price.
Thanks in advance :)
I would like this option, too. For me it's more to do with the eventuality that my PC/Laptop breaks down, I will have a place to download my own completed models at least! I know 3dexport has this function, and it'll be great if cgtrader does, too!
Hello,
Why do you have to download your models so often? You can create a backup copy of your models, on an external hard drive for example. It is also advisable to have a copy in a different physical location, for possible eventualities such as fires or floods. In the document of rights and obligations of the members says:
"18.4 Sellers should keep a backup of their own uploaded Products at all times Sellers' files uploaded to the Site can not be used as a backup source."
So I do not think that's going to change. I also believe that every user can and should worry about this issue for their own good and that CGT has other, more serious and important issues to worry about.
I think that this feature is also usable when customers need support.
Then I can download and work with the exactly same model as the customer downloaded after purchasing.
When I have model on my disk I am not 100% sure that it is exactly the same as the file uploaded to CGT, especially at some very old models.
I believe its inappropriate to use the site as cloud backup, its not that hard to store your work in encrypted archive upload it to a cloud drive or store it on your local drive. If its up to me CGtrader staff do not need to invest time to turn this site into a cloud drive. It would probably also compromise safety.
