newmodels I'm pretty sure that's going to be the same no matter which marketplace you use, especially if you use any from nations that have signed extradition treaties with the US(typically the initiator of such deals btw). An easy way to know which is which would be to look up which nations have got a visa free travel deal with the US, the deportation clauses are often a part of those unless a preexisting extradition treaty for it already existed. It doesn't even matter if EULAs include anything on this, the national laws and international agreements supersede EULAs anyways.

The CGTrader EULA is probably just being more honest about it acknowledging that these kinds of extradition treaties exist.

I don't know their reasoning. Looks like it's not in the eula anymore I looked. But, because of tax reasons I can't list with them right now.

And unless I can start producing quality 3d models, that people also want to get, there really is not much money in stock models. As things are right now, people do not like my models.

I think the only way to make it from freelance 3d models is to take jobs, directly with clients.

lol cgtrader sells alot of stolen models from my sketchfab, i hate that website.
i would advise getting more experience in modelling before u start freelance, im not saying your work is bad but there are things u need to improve on in your skills

    That is probably what I need to do then. I will continue working with my own designs getting art critiques. At least this is my plan.

      newmodels yeah keep experimenting with different techniques, try modelling all sort of things, now i only see u making creatures. why not model a face, or a hand, or a tree? it will make u grow as an artist

        I don't think it's any different than say turbosquid. Just that there's a lot more pirates out there than creators or staff to try and check everything listed on their sites. Legally the onus is on you to send cease & desist messages to have these models be taken down. Sadly such is the overall state of things.

          Megalomaniak if i had to spend time to submit all dmca's from my stolen models it would take me hours
          i got better things to do

            DJM Yep, hence 'Sadly such is the overall state of things' and that is precisely what these asset thieves are counting on.

              I will relearn the planes of the head and then make some designs for sculpting. Character design is one of my goals so I am still learning. Long way to go. I plan on posting some sculptings after I have some designs to look at.

              p3d.in looks like good competition for sketchfab

              p3d.in looks like it can get expensive. But this would depend on revenue earned from 3d models.

              I am some game 3D level and ed models
