Easy to download. A bit tricky getting the slicer to build the arms. I used supports and no infill. Slow down the print speed. Took about 5 days to printing one or two parts per day.

It has prons and cons but I want to like this site Cons is the new updates with sale commission, it is unfriendly to small creators as me, so this make me sad I am grateful for support I recieve from support team with one of my case, they were always with me and helped me till the end. Even if I wanted the waiting duration was sooner, I am still glad that they always help you

The models are nice, but so big that in Blender you had to zoom in very much to see them.

Easy to work with. It was the first time I bought a model and it looks fine and easy to work with. I liked the texture. I printed 1:64 scale so I cannot confirm the details as it is too small but it looks like the character portrayed by the model.

De "handdruk" was bedoeld als dank en waardering voor ontvangen diensten. Een hele afdruk voldeed niet aan de uitdrukking, dus heb ik de helft geprint en in een fotolijst verwerkt. Succes verzekerd!

"I'm really drawn to CGTrader for its unique resources, which are hard to find elsewhere. I primarily prefer email, but I'm happy to chat by phone too. My passion is character animation, and I'm eager to use my modeling and animation skills to fill current content gaps. I'm looking forward to giving a five-star rating once I see how well the program aligns with my needs."

How the task is very simple to complete

I love this stock as a buyer, because I can find a lot of free models or models with a good discount. However, as a buyer, I'm upset by a certain chaos in the source files. Different authors have completely different approaches to preparing the product. For example, uploading the product is either a set of various source files, or a single archive. I would like to see some unified system in this. As an author, I also love this platform, but I would really like to see regular improvements and modern tools for authors, since I’m unconditionally giving 1/3 of my income to the platform. 1. I want a licensing tool. Ready-made templates of different licenses, price separation depending on license type. 2. Clear guidelines for product page setup. I want my product to look presentable, and for that the site grid must be designed so that the main image of my product isn’t cropped and looks consistent everywhere. I’d like to have visual separation of screenshot albums that could be custom arranged. For example, 1 album only with renders of the model, that can be flipped through on the search page before visiting the product page. 2nd album with renders of the model inside scenes, so people can see how it looks in use. 3rd album with technical details. Ideally, the album carousel should be looped, because right now you have to scroll back, and the carousel overall is quite outdated. 3. Working with discounts. The platform runs constant sales, but doesn’t let you control which products are discounted. Either all products are discounted, even new ones, or random ones by topic. I’d like authors to have more control over which product and what discount to apply. But in order not to lose the benefit of global sales, there should be a separate option that allows the platform to apply an extra discount for a big sale event. 4. Reward system. Right now there is a reputation system, but it’s outdated. I’d like something new and more relevant with rewards, but in a way that gives a wider variety of benefits. For example, product or author of the week, chosen based on sales + reviews. If an author gets into the top, then with that product they can’t appear in the top again for a few months, so it gives a chance to new products. 5. Review system. Users are very reluctant to leave reviews. That means something in the UX is weak. Probably the review should be more structured — maybe in the form of a questionnaire, where the buyer is given 2–3 options like “Great - Okay - Bad”, and questions like “Rate the model quality”, “Rate the textures”, etc. So the buyer doesn’t have to write the review manually, and for example the review text is generated by AI, and the buyer just agrees with the generated text. The actual text isn’t as important as displaying the ratings in a convenient format, and showing a summary of all reviews. I’d also add motivation for the buyer — if they leave a review, they get a discount coupon from this author in the form of a percentage of the purchased product. For example, if the product costs $15, the buyer gets an auto-applied coupon of 10% from those $15 — that’s $1.50 — for the next purchase from this author, if the product is the same price or higher. Or a general coupon from the platform for a product of the same category, valid for a couple of days and not stackable with other discounts. Yes, the platform had some kind of point system, but it was unclear and didn’t work the way we’d like. 6. Fair commissions. Back to discounts. Yes, my product ends up on the special page, but practically every product does, since many authors have discounts enabled. I, as an author (again, I can’t control which products go on sale), lose 50% on the discount, and still the platform takes the full commission. As a result, from $20 I get only $7. And I’m not even sure the buyer came from the discount page or bought it because of the discount — this product sells perfectly well without discounts too. So on top of the discount, I still pay full commission to the platform. I’d like to see fairer sharing of the discount and more action from the platform in return for me offering 50% off. 7. Pricing system. I really want a tool for price separation — both by license type and by product type. For example, I’m selling a bundle. I want to be able to sell not only the full bundle at one price, but also, for example, sell just the mesh for a separate price (which is great for models meant for 3D printing but not prepared for it, where no textures are needed), or sell individual items from the bundle (e.g. I have 10 models, and the 3 most popular ones I want to sell separately, so the buyer doesn’t have to buy the whole pack), or sell just the low-poly versions if there are high-poly ones as well. That’s not even all. As an author giving 1/3 of my income to the platform, I want to see regular improvements in return. thx!
