I add something for 3d printl.
Some members sells finished 3d print model i.e real product, not digital..
The price is for an already printed object... not for the digital file...but it's not obvious.. (apart the price that is crazy for a digital product)
The user need to know if the final product is the file or the real object

i think we need an option for buyer download HD picture rendering uploaded , it make good to see. Because when i uploaded big pictures for preview, they were resized .
I only buy model that i can see clearly , if the preview picture too small, it is very hard to see
At the moment buyers can view large images by pressing zoom icon in the top-right corner of preview image and it will show maximum size of the uploaded image. Do you think it's enough or should we add a possibility to download files separately?
i think we need a possibility to download HD image uploaded by seller
The "zoom icon in the top-right corner of preview image" is limit, it can not view as HD, it were resized, when zooming it is very blur

A bit more statistics for the sellers.
For example in the product list page add the view count for the models. It's good to know which model gets more views. Also would be great to have not just a view counter, but a view counter/time. So the old models wouldnt be on first place forever. That would also be good for those 3 thumbnails in top designers page.

I am collecting my model's statistics monthly from the3dstudyo and turbosquid. Could be a good favor to the artists to know which model were visited. Almost 1 year passed since I began to sale my models in different 3d market. I am still thinking what will be my next 3d model or which category will be good to sale. If I had more statistics about my models like view count or quick view count possibly I could do a better chose.

I miss the part were i can took a view of the new uploaded models

perhaps a special forum section for all the ` Check my new 3d models' and all 'advertising' message ( ie authorized spam of your users) than your last competition created.. ?
as frankenstein, you created a monster (as all users want some easy points for the competition)... and it begun to eat your forum alive...
Thanks Othar, we'll add forum rules and restrictions soon :) We're happy to see activity, although as you say there should be some moderation there. Thanks for your comment!

i would wish cg traders should upgrade site in VFX also
like selling models
there should be peoples who are demanding for vfx work to be done for there Short film etc.
And the person who is doing VFX work for then should get payments as we are paid in selling of models
Hi Firdz3D, no problem we can add that. Could you write the main renderers from Blender you'd like us to include?
hi dahlia,
well for blender , there are 2 built in renderer
1. Blender Render (internal)
2. Cycles
there are also a lot of external render engine such as YafRay, i'm not familiar with them
Frezzy, what exactly do you mean by turntable feature? Please let me know, we'll see what we can do :)
sorry, maybe my english is bad, and you can see it here: it is image 360

Thanks for listen! Have a nice day!
Hey, this will be available soon! Thanks for the comment, much appreciated :)
Hey Freezy, this is now available! You can add links to Youtube, Verold, SketchFab and Vimeo and show off your products in a 360 experience :)

Buyer rating/stats would be nice - something similar to what sellers have. As of now, customers do not get any rating points for purchasing models, rating them and other activity. Would be nice to know if the person who purchased your model is a regular cgtrader buyer, how often does he/she returns to the site to buy new models, ehwt is the average price of bought models and similar info.

I'm not sure what the "Preview" type of file format does, but shouldn't it be an accompanying file to a product, for advertising, and thus freely downloadable? It seems to end up with the files you only can get only if you buy the product?
TurboSquid has a nice "accompanying file" feature, with freely downloadable files section for every product.
Yeah, there is a bug we have to fix. Thanks Exnihilum for the heads up!
To be fair, CGTrader allows you to add links in product description so you can store the free preview files on your own server space and just use URLs to link to them, while TS does not allow any type of links anywhere so they must add extra features such as "accompanying files".
I don't necessarily trust some space provider with god-knows-what-policy more than I trust the site that sells exactly the product that I advertise for. And it's another site and password to keep track of. But admittedly, traffic costs for a site like CGtrader might be prohibitive for larger advertising files.

"Suggested categories" feature, please. If you see the3dstudio.com models publishing process, they have this one. It automatically suggests several categories based on the name of the uploading model, so the artist just need to chose one of the categories that he thinks match better or select manually if the method didn't find good categories. Fast and easy.
It's not the first need but it will be great if you have such algorithm also.
