No, they are serious about this. every single one of the 3D model marketplaces that I have come across, save one, has some backhanded way of saying that the custom creator just is not good enough.
No really, go check them out and spend hours reading through all the EULA's and talking to all the CS staff that will talk to you and find out for your self.
Renderosity -- no pay out until you have sould more than $35 and to top it off you can not have more than three items in the marketplace until your "gross sales" reaches $300.
TurboSquid -- Oh yea, you only get 15% of the sales. unless you work only for them and sell x amount. Yea ok so they take the top 30% and give that to the IRS so you don't have to, Oh wait no they file it under YOUR T.I.N. or I.T.I.N. if you don't live in the U.S., and yea you can forget about any Tax treaties that your country has with the U.S. because they will still make you get an I.T.I.N.
Flatpyramid & Wasabi -- are more than willing to buy each of your models, textures, etc. for a $ to be determined upon inspection of the item. If accepted they will pay you ONCE! and then sell the same damn model for years to come. I will ignore their discount CD bundles for now.
^Lets be fair and admit that each one of the a for mentioned sites will increase your commission % or just pay out right if you sign up for an 'affiliate' program. basically you put a link on your site to their site and it tracks each sale made that originated from your link.
... Now for the Save one.
Falling Pixel 3D -- first off wow, a named site that is spelled correctly. Second alright they are currently working on a 58% commission rate. that is 58% of the sales of your products go to you not them. Granted they work Exclusively in Euros but they also support paypal who automatically converts currencies for you.
Down side time, they will only pay you when you want to be payed if you have more than 5 euros in your account with them. And you have to wait for 72 hours before your funds hit Paypal from their bank account.
alright so not such a bad down side but still I had to Grr at them for something.
What a way to spend a day where I could have been actually working on something. If some one has a public marketplace that will not hold me to idiotic rules and regulations and give me my fair share, then that would be great. until then I might be virtually moving to Wales and London.
