so, is selling 3D models worth it? this is a question probably a lot of people ask before they embark on this unknown and mysterious journey because honestly there isn't a lot of information about this topic. today we are going try to answer this question from the perspective of multiple Artists who have experience in this field and i will comment on what they said if necessary.

I've been successfully selling 3d assets for several years now, on average making around 600$ from 3d assets per month between a few of the main platforms. From memory i have maybe 30 models or so. It takes several months to build up speed with consistent income. Highly recommend people find a niche category and focus only on that category at a high quality. For example, create and sell only hats. Trust me, 1 year from now, you will be know as the 3d hat guy lol :) Focus on making them Unreal / Unity ready, so they can drag and drop them right into an engine. 3d is converging towards real time platforms in film, Arch Viz, VR etc so definitely good to be on top of that. Try to imagine where 3d will be 10-20 years from now and make yourself future ready!
helpful tips. thank you for the feedback.
Great advice, thanks. Can you olease share your selling links id like to check it.
What would you recommend learning first. Unity or Unreal? Or is it equally easy to import into both?
Can you please tell us where you sell you models? Im going to start learning 3d modeling too
Thanks for the advice! Can you tell us, please, several tips for the promotion of that 1-focused-topic-account?
Short answer: Yes, just don’t rely on it as your primary source of income.
In Russia 300-500$ is a good money, belive me. It's a standard salary.
Just like any form of art, really. If you're into modelling and texturing, pick a game or a genre with a large following and start up a Patreon. VR assets are blowing up ATM. I make adult content for a specific game and make just over $2000USD a month before taxes for about 20 hours of work a week.
good salary for Eastern Europe from where I am
@@abra4662 ye unfortunately that aint shit here lmao. the cheapest basic rent in my area is twice that much.
would it be good to start off at a young age?
I think the key is to remember that most people/companies purchasing models need assets that take a lot of time to create, but do not add significant value or unique character/storytelling to their production. For example, trees, furniture, set dressing, electronic devices and other high effort, generic assets are something that a production will gladly buy, because they don’t require specific art direction and they cost less than paying an in-house modeler to create. A highly stylized character is something that few productions will buy, because that is something they would need to art direct in house to match the exact needs of their production. Ironic given that this video shows stylized characters throughout!
That is very very true. I work for a company that buys a lot of 3D models, just because we don't have the time to model a car, a set of furniture or foliage.
I think the best way artists can earn money is by making their product "scaleable" and "editable".
Making your product subdivideable, providing Substance scene files, providing both low poly and high poly meshes.
And providing PBR textures ofcourse.
I see way too many product, where only the diffuse, normal map and low poly mesh are being sold....
it IS possible however to make money from youtube, that's why it's a ten minute video instead of a 5 second clip of someone saying "no, not really."
God you're annoying
fgabrielg2012 why?
telling them to not make their video 10 mins or to not use adds is like someone telling you to sell all your models for free. its not even worth mentioning
@@bigsylph7231 ah my comment probably came off more dickish than I intended. I don't mind that they made the video and I don't blame them for making sure it's long enough to get monetized. I guess not everyone wants the tl;dr.
Ty for telling me the fucking answer instead of keeping me here for fucking 9 mins
It has only turned out this way because people sell them selves short, 3D modeling is an advanced skill that requires a lot of training and a moderate amount of intelligence. I think because it can also be highly enjoyable, people are willing to do it for way less than they should.
My advice would be, don't hunker down to sell assets from a store. Be a problem solver, let companies know that you make high quality custom models fast, and that you are easy to work with, they will pay you a lot for the expertise. It is so much more valuable than getting a pre made model. And attempting to force it into your project.
True, I see way many models on the market that are just dirt cheap for the quality they provide...
Artists in general are not entrepeneuers and managers, thus they are less skilled in economics and "business".
You as an artist are not just selling a 3D model;
You are selling your skill - The quality of the model
You are selling PBR textures - Knowledge of how physics affect materials and such.
You are selling sub models - High poly and low poly
You are selling file formats - Scene files, Export files
One model includes all the packages described above.
Artist should spend more time evaluating their product and giving it the proper price tag.
PS.
I've also seen way too many models that are just piss poor bad, while artists are asking the jackpot for those models...
Exactly what I thought. I am new in 3D modelling and quite love it, and became decent in poly modelling and rendering in Maya, and was interested in making all kinds of models and selling them this summer since I have a lot of free time ( break from University). I really think 3D models should sell for a higher price, since both skill and time are really being invested. I think we all should just start appreciating ourselves more, and not making lives of companies and employers easier by just going to a site and buying a fully ready detailed 3D model for around 50 bucks.
Something not mentioned in your video is the income from your modeling is passive but it's also ongoing. if someone buys your model, they are buying a copy not the original. You don't have to restock the model, it can and will be sold many times. Any income from your modeling is ad infinitum.
Yeah but then you have to take into consideration PIRACY.
Every time someone decides to "nah wont pay it" and put it somewhere public to share.. You will also lose money on each copy. Its a 2 edged sword imho.
@@CesarinPillinGaming That's the risk with digital marketplaces, but chances are pretty low + you can catch the people doing it pretty fast and sue them for damages (money).
Hi, what page do you recommend?
If you did this AND did freelancing for specific things people wanted, you would probably have a good chance to make something happen
I think it is important to see this kind of stuff as passive income, even if you are looking to make this your main source of income, how much you make is bound to fluctuate over the course of weeks/months and only actually becomes profitable over time, after several sales, it is just the nature of this kind of selling. Which is why it is a big deal to either make things that will either sell a lot, or sell stuff you that you happened to already invest time on, like a personal project or something made for a client but you didn't really use.
Just try military simulation companies, they ask for loads of models. MetaVR, CAE, etc.
I really liked how real this felt. It reminded me that being a modeler is still being an artist, and being an artist is hard. Hahahahahahahaha
that's if you want to branch off and work solo, work for a company and then it's like any other competitive job
I find the best outcome is to do what some artist are doing which is selling time saving tools. Like at FlippedNormals they have a good Maya lighting scene that will save you time on lighting. There are others who sell maps for Substance or base meshes that save you time as a modeler.
One that is not talked about a lot but does produce a lot of money is the NSFW type of models. I know people with very nice Patreon incomes from just doing these models. This isn't something that I would like to do because there is always stigma behind it but is an option for some
This is a very important point, I'm hoping someone expert could reply if it is a good idea or not.
thanks for the feedback, full of useful insights.
i dont really understand what you meant for NSFW type of models. is it something like daz studio character models?
@@supasuoasuoasupa1939 Not Safe For Work. Meaning character models in sex positions naked or animated to do sexual stuff. I am not familiar with DAZ studio.
Totally, lewd 3d is lucrative business
I believe that with the rise of 3d printing this has changed drastically, Patreon and My Mini Factory have a lot of of people making a lot of money, and they don't require any shading or color maps, just a 3d model that is good enough for 3d printing
Yes most models are between $5 and $30 if sold separately, but some of those models have more than 1k sales
Also with patreon models, you can find some freelance modelers who have anywhere between 400 and 2000 monthly subscribers for $5 to $15, it all depends on the quality of the products and the type of models they release each month
Some larger groups or digital studios even have more than 6500 patreon, paying at least a $10 monthly fee "sometimes even more for commercial licenses"
I believe the profit potential towards those business models are extremely high
@@muhammadsammy9484 Could you share some of them please so I could see the quality of their models?
I agree with Matthew Hartman on this one. Also the prices will drop eventually. Anyway there is no stopping it. Someone will take advantage of of that, it just not gonna be you.People always tend to hurt themselves in the long run. It just crazy when some sell their work for 15 lousy bucks.
What software is used. I want to model from a photo of a large fish with detailed scales
The video was very insightful, informative, and depressing.
Gonna have to work harder.
Don't work harder - work smarter ;-)
@@igorthelight well said
@:28 sec - I have not been able to find this model (ship and serpent) or elements from it on SketchFab. Any clues to its whereabouts?
Can I use fusion 16 for motion graphics
I mean to move a flat character like after effects
Yo ! King Tuts,
I am looking for an stl file for the Iron Throne- life sized that can use to create my own with a 3d router vs printer. Wood is cheaper.
Can you provide this ?
So... Artists need to value their work more, rather than lowering the price to make a quick sale. It's like the horrible economics of a WoW auction house... Those big companies who need the models aren't NOT going to buy them. They can't make them themselves, hence why they are buying them. Start utilizing the demand so the wage evens out.
So this is modelers selling products for cheap so that studios don't have to hire modelers. And as more modelers take this approach, even the price of 3d assets on 3d marketplaces will fall as competition increases. I believe this is what's called "a race to the bottom."
Artistry Artistry not only that there is photogrammetry programs where by you take photos and load then into the program. The program makes the model for you. Minor tweaks and it’s done
But cgi for films and animations can be sold
This race to the bottom was happening for the last 20 years since the Turbosquid started. They were enforcing minimum prices at that time and this helped the market to work adequately. It was normal to sell 1 model for $200-900 at that time. Today all the markets are overpopulated with proposition way higher than demand and customers expect high-quality models at 10-20$. At some point, it was not worth for our company to continue as the market drop has outrun all the efforts of making new products. We were releasing new models regularly but the overall income was slowly dropping.
@@B2SProductionsyup their is no reason to even buy models any more you can Polycam something and it comes textured and in real time quality the only downside is you can’t really rig these items correct me if I’m wrong
amazing video incredible insight
Very informative video.
but why sell at all if you can't even make a living out of it? Modelling takes a looooooot of practice/work. Longer than any apprenticeship or study at university. Why sell at all if this effort is not appreiciated? let the market suffer until they value it. What we are also lacking of as 3d artists is a b2c market. All of this is B2B and that works only by either doing significant price changes overall or by opening up a B2C market with a broader audience? so why doesnt the B2C market work so far? Because the customer base over the years built up an expectation of free extra content and would bash on any content market model, as well as the developers being afraid of this reaction. So all in all the players salt their own soup. Like I said.. there need to be an significant change before I consider selling models like that.
Thumbnail was from cgtrader, bought that thing bout
six months ago : )
Which software you are using?
There are tons of people doing it. The supply is more than the demand. Think about it.
you are extreme wrong LOL which planet you live?
@@fractaltutors The ones that are earning big bucks are the file hosters ... Turbosquid, CGTrader. etc. In the past there was another hoster 3DStudio.. but I guess it went bust.

Inspirational tuts🙄🙄
Me :inspirational words 💯💯
this was very informative.
Another thing some people do bias about sometimes but idk if it's but I'd like to know the truth from it. The different use of Programs that output models. When companies sees models that made from 3DS Max or Maya they know the artist has been using the Industry Standard Level in terms of what program to use but as the video does state for one of the artists comments about having the different types of Material, Shading and other mapping("Something that is a must for getting to the well known state as the video states"), then comes Blender with it slowly growing out into the world and slowly working it's way into a Industry level standard Program. But personally I don't understand why there's a bias in terms of what Programs models are produced from. Other then that this video made some very nice high lights in terms of model selling since I wanted to go into that area. But RIP I need to step my game up If I need to catch up.
The bias thing comes from the early days of Blender when it was primarily used by amateurs or hobbyists. Meanwhile the only people who could afford access to Maya or Max, were either professionals or students studying to be a professional. Therefore there was a huge disparity between the quality of work being produced by “free to use” compared to “paid for” programs. However in recent times Blender has brought itself up to the industry standard, so more and more professional artists are starting to adopt it. A great channel by the name of Arrimus 3D does some amazing modeling in 3DS max but has now started branching out into Blender because he wants to stay competitive. Honestly though, it doesn’t matter what software you use as long as you understand the principles of 3D modeling. This knowledge is transferable between all software. The negative stigma surrounding Blender these days usually comes from elitists who still view at as an amateurs tool. I myself am a Max/Maya user but the extreme price tag for the software is going to make me switch to Blender once my student license runs out.
I sell my models in CGTrader and basically i do them for hobby (or did), i make simple models but thanks to 3D Projects and a lot of luck i managed to make around 400-500$ in 3-4 months while only selling models (in cgtrader only) i made around 100$ or a little more probably. I think CGTrader 3D Projects may be a good point to start making more money.
I dont know how CGTrader works, seriously. I try to upload a .rar file and i receive an error "Materials naming mismatch:
expected 'M_(digit)_(digit)',
found 'Material'
No matter wich combination of name i try, it cant be helped...
@@jeimoall You're talking about the freelancing program? That didn't work for me either
@@mcgamescompany Yep. Sad...
In short - No
Longer - Not really, not of a money you will get
Why - market is already overflowing with others, if someone telling you that it's a good way to earn money - they're lucky ones or didn't tried to make it by themselfs.
I'm curious tho - how about animators? Is it the same or different?
@@fethidogan3d Oof. That's kinda different. In case with modeling there's just way too much modelers already to gain money easily. But what actually do you mean? That all they can do is just retarget anims from mixamo to client's rig? Or what?
what about 3D modelling for 3d animations and games?
Idk now, this really demotivated me. I'm 18 and just started learning 3d modeling in blender, it looks really fun and i'm hyped about all that, i like the process, its even fascinating to me, but hearing this guy saying its THAT hard to live off of it, makes me doubt that its the right way. Do I keep learning and practicing untill I get decent (which will take ages, ik), or do I try something else? I don't have any idea what else I could do, i'm kind of lost and desperate for finding a right way and i need help with that..
Learn it as the hobby at first and then build a portfolio of all the work that you make. Maybe you'll get in at a big company. Alternatively you may just have to get a lot of stuff out there and nickel-and-dime people until it snowballs.
first of all 3d artists do practice art because it is what makes them feel alive and happy and because they are fulfilling their potential in life. the second thing you don't have to rely on one thing as a 3d artist. you can work as a freelancer and sell 3d models, you can work a non-artistic job and as 3d artist part-time. you can sell 3D animations, Stock images/renders, you can sell addons, you can create a blog, a CZcams channel, you can sell courses, you can sell books.
in fact, I like hard things because it means less competition and more money. for example, if selling 3d models is hard, you need to think outside of the box, you can work on unique 3d models that no one is making, you can create your own outsourcing studio and sell directly to studios/companies.... good luck buddy.
@@InspirationTuts I know that i have to love it to live off of it, I'm drawing for few years now, it does make me happy and art itself in many ways fascinates me, I really do love it, I can sit 7 hours in a row and just draw with music in the background with ease. People say i'm talented, but i'm doing it only as a hobby, free time activity, just becouse i know i won't make enough money with it. That's why i wanted to look further in this topic and find something similar, but with a chance that someday i will be able to make money off of that.
Thank you for replying and giving me these ideas, really appreciate it. If you have any more tips for a begginer like me, then I would love to read these!
@@nukima11 That's a great idea for the start, I need to get to know the basics at first, then i'll try to earn first money with it. I just wanted to know if its the right way and that im not going to waste bunch of time for 200$ a month after a few years of learning and working with it. Thanks for replying!
@@wieshak it will feel like you're wasting time. But as long as you're learning you're really not.
I could live with as little as like $150 (minimum wage here) and quality wise I think I'll be able to do anything any first world 3d artist does by year's end (plus I have a decade+ experience in traditional art and stuff) but I have no idea how to sell anything online. It sounds so impossible... do you just have to register in a lot of stores and upload your stuff there? Surely there's more to it?
As a programmer who does some Blender work at part-time, I just don't understand why 3D modelers just make their model opensource, can't they just make a 3D model GitHub?
the trick is to not specialize when you're starting out. be a generalist. do everything. The market is so harsh to specialized newcomers. you will lose hope in the art of 3d.
Yes and no. Being a generalist means you can do everything at a mediocre level, meaning you'll be outclassed by almost anyone who specializes in a certain field.
You'll be outclasses in terms of skill, quality delivered and time.
You also have to spend more time keeping your skills sharp in every 3d field.
A generalist is more likely to be hired in the long run, while a specialist is more likely to be fired once X skill is not required anymore.
@@ishitrealbad3039 You missed the part where I said do not specialize when you're starting. I don't know which country you come from but for the majority of 3D artists around the world, specialization is not even an option.
I honestly feel happy for the artists that just get to model, storyboard, or just texture the whole day, and to them, I give my support.
But I am being realistic about my situation. you are not going to tell many people that you only do one thing, perfectly. So the client will have to hire 5 people to do a project perfectly and that can certainly happen.
when I am hired, my clients expect me to even record the voice overs to mixing audio because they don't pay with a huge team in mind. I wish I could specialize but my bills wish different.
I have been selling some assets on CGTrader for a while now, didn't make too much of course(unfortunately).. But i realized a strange thing there. Sometimes there can be some assets that no one would normally think "good" but somehow sits to the top selling list!.. I mean they don't even look the half of the some of my early assets(which sell rarely) but they seem to sell much somehow (Even with high price!).. I'm thinking that some people buy their own models (via multiple accounts maybe) to make it seem sell too much, so everyone can see the models and think they are good and buy them.. If this is true than they're simply killing the market! And this didn't happen once or twice. I don't know if this is happening in other platforms but that's just unfair.. People are spending days of efforts to make those assets to make a couple bucks(so they can live!) but thanks to these people, we artists are running out of options..
Thank you for the feedback, actually your theory does not sound far fetched.
i personally thought about it before and i believe that some people are doing it especially on cgtrader because there is a bigger margin compared to lets just say Turbosquid so the money they lose to the platform is not going to be that noticeable. and of course with good rating and reviews people will buy their models.
Than it is the platform that is at fault, because they allow it to happen.
It's simple, switch to a different platform that does not have shitty practices.
Most people buy exactly what they need disregarding the quality. We have hundreds of models on CGtrader and the most sold ones are hare and a mouse. Though we have other very high-quality models in the catalog.
@@ishitrealbad3039 CGtrader are the best today, believe me. Can waste time dealing with shitiers ones of course ;)
Can you make a video on which is best renderer between v-ray, corona and arnold.
I am a beginner so i just wanted to learn which is best and easy to use renderer and if i am mistaken about my renderer knowledge please reply
Tbh, there are no "Best" render engines or how easy it can be used. This is all based on knowledge, experiences and suitable workflow.
Corona has become really popular lately, but I've heard only negative things.
I have used Mental Ray, V-ray and Arnold. Of the three I dislike Arnold. Y’know what just use Unreal Engine. Real time rendering has gotten to the point where it’s as good as pre rendered imagery. In fact it’s better coz you can display it in real time.
What do you thing about built my own wordpress/woocomerce online market and sell 3d models by myself ?
Problems with that is that you have to market your website, because nobody will be able to find your website when you start up and you have to compete with existing website.
Meaning you're competing your product with others and your website with others + a website and setting up payments are also costly (unless you're a webdeveloper who knows what he's doing).
If you want to sell your own product on your own website, you should prioritize one type of product.
For example Poliigon started off selling PBR textures.
Now they sell high quality and 3D scanned assets too.
RD textures sells high quality photoscanned textures with SBS files.
If you want to have a website to compete with Turbosquid or CGtrader, you'll have to offer a service that neither of these websites provide to even win the competition.
For me 3d modeling has worked, I found a place to sell my models or inspirations. But you must have a backup fund for those months where sales are low...
Hello, in which place are you selling models? Thanks
The most important part the market is declining due to oversaturation, at least for the last 20 years. So even if you find out how the current situation works for you, expect it to get worse.
And also where can i learn basic to advance texturing and lighting in 3ds max
Im high school student and while im home and have online school i want to work from home and sell 3d models. can anyone recommend me some websites where i can do so
Turbo squid, sketchfab
Interesting contents. :)
I would like to start sell my 3D products soon or later.
Just one thing, u mentioned in the video, I do not completely agree with that.
I know that u tried to explain in easy way, but not every Asian country has same living cost. 😜 Sometimes you can live way cheaper in several Eastern European countries compare to some Asian countries such as South Korea, Hongkong, Singapore or Japan. 😂
Useful
In Malaysia 500$ is mean almost MYR2500, average freshgrad salary.
In Amerika I think 3000$ is standard income too.
That's why most Asian can lives with 500$. It's worth one month salary
0:28 what is that program called?
the model inspector on sketchfab. No way to know what program the modeler used to make that. That interface is just the in-store tool to see before you buy.
Me parece un buen vídeo.
Pero la parte que más importante me parece, es a la hora de vender tus modelos en Internet una empresa profesional van buscar modelos que tengan Normal Maps, Brightness, etc. Solo el modelo y texturas no son suficientes para las compañías serias
También que generar dinero no es igual a ganar dinero, si haces Muuuuchisimas horas y cobras poco, realmente no le está sacando beneficio
What about DAZ and skip stuff like Turbosquid and then do some big but awesome generics like KitBash3d
This is a very tough bussiness way too many people doing it at the end of the day the lowest price wins no matter what you do
What about photo scanned models? I've been thinking about getting into that business since I'm from a country that has a very unique landscape, rocks, vegetation and so on and it's literally not being utilized by anyone here. The population is 55,000 people so I know :P
I'm sure I could sell Hdri's taken here and photo scanned models.
Does anyone have experience in this field that is willing to share?
Any tips? :)
I find making artworks using Blender with 3d assets way more easier and a lot less time consuming to make money.

can you please make a tutorial about how the hollywood artists uses 3ds max or maya to create fake CGI environment and how they use it in videos or green screen footages?
whoa whoa stop right there, there is so many division in there, worked by thousand people from around the world, you must choose what you want to focus (and understanding other division)... it is modelling an asset.?.. animating...rendering,.. compositing.. texturing.. keying.. eviroment art? after all of that, you can adjust your expetation

But it helps to look on epic games career site what skills are required ( pro tip always learn zbrush aswell its used everywhere’s)
You can definitely make more than 500 a month. You have to join the right community and not only that there are games or chat games dedicated for creators who make a good amount 3d modeling. It'll take time but it'll be worth it in the end
what about 3d architecture designer ?? like what thing they could do to make more money?
Check out a website called 3Dsky. I worked in architecture for a few years and practically all our models came from there haha.
Can anyone tell me what software is that on 8:35 ?
seems z brush
Pixologic Zbrush 2020 or 2021
Wayne s thanks !
Carlos Amaya thanks !
@@RobertMcCalle what do you want the program for? I heared some people prefers tu use blender witch is open source and have very good tools for sculpting as well, depends of your needs...
I want to try 3D too but just watching the tutorials in youtube, it looks so hard even just making the clothes right put in the body of model. And I don't have much money to buy PC/laptop with high spec (since it important for 3D modeling).
You don't need a PC with high spec, you can already modeleling with small config
@@akuto5417 what minimum/average recommended spec to begin 3d modeling (that will not easily crash or force close)?
@@Vall_Ey first of all, don't take a laptop, take a PC costly 600 dollars average. You need a ryzen 5 in your config. You must already try on your current PC before buying. You can download blender for test.
@@akuto5417 I don't hv PC, only old potato laptop with Ci5-3rd gen. That's mean impossible, I prefer laptop bcoz I need little bit portable.
The short answer is yes, you can make a living from it. The reason a lot of people don't is simply that they're doing it wrong. Good luck to everyone that tries.
1:00 Silent hill vibes
Very useful info. Does not sound so great to be honest.
3-5k a month is just evening out. Not even living large.
if you are a kid and you are good at that then you can make a living out of it. if you do that from young until the end of high school if you are good you will probably have enough money to buy a used car to drive to college if it's a long-distance
HOW MANY POLY/TRIS DO WE NEED TO MAKE THIS KIND OF MODELS ? ARE THEY OVER 100K TRIS ??
i think if you are a skillful teen ( which there is not a lot ) you can make good profit for what you really need
If you high skills just get a job as 3D Designer,but if you live where I live that's good money
1:21 In other words - Russia.
I guess I need to try this out in the future.
how to quit in blender is recommend video
listen to the guy who made the program, we make things for the sake of making them, not for throwing us coins
he is right though you are hemorrhaging money, in sense at the price range for your last example 4 pieces done in 160 hours for $500 is only $1.28 hour your being paid less than some third world countries even for enjoyment and love of the craft you still need to keep a realistic value of your time or you become the proverbial starving artist, speaking's one who knows from years of being he.
I look alot trough turbosquid but we are limited on budged .. the thing is free assets ruins the market as i tend to go get the crappy unoptimizable free asset and use it as a base for 99% of the time . But there are certainly assets that will sell quite well. Mostly generic office space assets or expo stuff .. stuff thats not „ unique „ . In general the asset has to jump into your eye as the suitable asset.
My advice will be to work as an independant studio and find client that pay you good for YOUR PROFILE. There is very skilled poeple but that doesnt know how to carry a customer or the work as an independant. Here is the difference.
Anyone know about daz pa income?
Daz have trained their customers to wait until stuff is on sale for next to nothing because there is always a sale.
You get half of next to nothing.
Im surprised this didn't tell me straight up it's not worth it, so you could eliminate future competition lol
1:38 Asia ? What? Asia is a continent with many highly expensive cities
Can you please make a video on how and where can I learn VFX from in blender....
You’re not gonna make it in east Asia if you only make around 500 dollars per month...the living cost here is not as low as you think it is
I am not going to disagree on the living cost in East Asia, but the point still stands. It is kinda how on Fiverr and such, reagardless of what they are selling , you see a lot of people from developing and underdeveloped countries cause actually selling something for 5 dollars only makes sense after you convert it to a currency that is doing worse than USD in a place where things are generally cheaper than a first world country.
In my country 500 per month is the average pay of govermental worker which considered as steady jobs but yeah, it is enough for your daily need but there is nothing left to save for future
in Indonesia $200 is about the minimum salary. I'd be considered rich if I get $500 per month lol
@@rocketman-766 Just wanted to add that govt jobs are usually not a good comparison. They come with a lot of benefits like healthcare, subsidized billing, job security, pension, etc. A lot of people will actually take a pay cut to get a good govt job, because the disposable income will be higher at the end of the day. I did read some nice advices on this thread though. Good luck!
Is c4D not an industry standard for modeling?
It's a industry standard for some movies but for modeling Maya and 3DS Max reign supreme as the most used, Maya being number 1.
@@waynes964 Everything you can do in Maya and 3Ds Max you can do in c4D... Procedurally.
@@BrokenNat Never implied that it couldn't, Maya and 3DS Max are just the more popular ones aka industry standards.
Never implied you did, I was just informing you :)
Cinema 4D is honestly more often used for rendering or animation work. When it comes to modelling quite a lot of people are switching over to Blender due to more flexibility with less investment needed.
Rather than freelancing, you would be better off getting an animation job and selling models on the side
I think so too.
I'm a 3D artist on contract, and am thinking about selling product on the side.
Both models as well as full 3D scenes for Unity/UE4
yes you can make money, but dont sell on turbosquid, they will give you almost nothing for your models
3000-5000 $ a month to make a living???? if you make 3k, youre making big bucks already wtf.
The average income in my country (The Netherlands) is €2100 after taxes and The Netherlands is NOT a cheap country to live in. 3 grand is quite good
@@EddoWagt exactly. It's the same for pretty much any country
Edgar Wagt tell me about. The tax rate here sucks.
@@Legend64Project it's usually worth it.. ;)
at the current exchange rate, $5000 is just under the cap for public servant salaries in my country. like 25% less than the president (theorically) earns. lol.
You can't compete with giants ..just try to use that energy to get a job with ilm or the big production companies that pays you 100 of thousands per year. Good luck !
As one of those giants, I can tell you that you are competing not with us but with the same people as yourself. The market was overflooded in recent 10 years with new blood, and 90% of models come from smaller artists today. Who in fact have destroyed the market for everybody as a locust heavily undercutting each other.
I wouldn't buy a model for a game if there are other games using it. That will backfire on the "whole" industry (I mean the part of it that can't afford to hire the professionals needed), when you recognize many characters repeated in many different games. I think making it exclusive and increasing the price will be a better strategy for freelancers, specially if what I said ends up happening for real. Otherwise I think it would be better to aim for the 3d printing market, but I feel like TG community is not spending much money in this as they did with well-known tabletop games.
If you make environment assets they are unlikely to get noticed. Interior is the same. If you see a lamp in one game and then see it in another its unlikely you will make the connection unless its a really unique object.
@@NihonRebooted yea good point there. It's also nice if you do what other guy said here, just selling hats for example. I was mostly referring to full characters, sry for not making it clear.
Im 12 and im a begginer so in few years ill be better and maybe you know ill earn some money and for me even 20 dolars is a lot
good luck! learning at such a young age will be huge for your future
@@sergsergesrgergseg thank you i just wanted to learn making things in blender i am still a beginner but i made a kettle helmet, morningstar mace, war hammer and dome swords because i like medieval and i am making models for one roblox guy that wants new medieval weapon models
And maybe ill go out of the roblox when i get better at blender to make my own game and learn some scripting i dont know what the future will be
@@Nicko0 If you're aiming for 3d modelling on Roblox, aim to get better at creating three things; UGC items, weapons and vehicles. That's where the market's at on that platform.

How much does NSFW artists make? Do they make more or less than an average 3d modeler?
Please add an automatic translation into English.
I don't know the language well and would like to read subtitles.
oh. okay. so it isn't worth it.
i guess i'll just do some photogrametry of the weird awesome looking rocks at my farm and sell at the unreal store. pretty sure people will buy them
you should ask yourself, is the earning worth the time and effort spent on a single 3d model? The market is very limited. Most game developers or agencies likely have their own library or suppliers of 3d models. This is only good to earn extra or passively. Don't forget that you create 3d because you love doing so, making money out of it is secondary.
Got it. Dont live in California. lol.
Really arent we just selling the 3D art to ourselves, other 3D artists? Whether you are a programmer who wants models or a someone who has a 3D printer. The real market is selling a car to a car company because they dont want to pay an artist $20 an hour for a week when they could just spend a couple hundred and get it right away. We just dont make a product for the average joe. And who we do make it for, doesnt have a lot of money or doesnt want to spend a lot of money on our models.
its an ad
Bro subtitles please
you are kind of contradicting yourself.
first you are saying that inhouse modellers are more expensive to work on a model than just buying it.
But than you are saying that inhouse modellers are more experienced and provide a better model...
What are you trying to tell?
"Is selling 3d models worth it"
of course not!
I am sorry but I couldn't watch this video till the end. I was being interrupted by ads every few minutes. Way too often...
