So, about a month ago, I posted on Reddit about a 3D model I created: . It's the SCP foundation's SCP 106. This model was created with the idea of selling it. So I posted on Reddit that I was selling the 3D model for $20 per (royalty-free license). To my amazement, I now have 52.3k total views and 114 upvotes as of today. Regrettably, I did not sell a single 3D model. Nobody took the decision to buy it. The CGtrader store link received only 25 views. I believe there are two key causes for this: 1. Who needs a 3D model? People who buy 3D models are those who create movies and video games. There isn't a large group of people there. 2. The way I posted the 3D model wasn't optimal: To begin with, I only started creating 3D models a few months ago and am thus still inexperienced; as a result, the renders I created were terrible, and didn't do the model justice. I also did not include enough renders and did not create a video of the model. I should have added a video of the SCP performing the Fortnite dance (Haha funny dance, pls upvote reddit). I've since updated the store page with new renders, but I'm too lazy to do the rest of it. I have just released my second 3D model today: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/fantasy-character/hairy-creature
It came out very mediocre. I questioned a few months ago if selling 3D models was a decent way to moneymaxx: https://looksmax.org/threads/selling-3ds-models.735357/#post-11548028. With my limited experience, I'll have to say no. It appears to be a complete waste of time. But it's quite a bit of fun, so I'll probably create a few more to sell.
