This week, we are celebrating our 7th birthday with a ball of 3D art, design and modeling! Read on to find out what drove us and the scale to which we have grown throughout the years.
Our approach
Ever since CGTrader first launched in May 2011, the goal of our company remained the same: to provide a transparent marketplace with fair fees and the best conditions for designers without limiting their freedom. At CGTrader, 3D artists are never forced into exclusivity contracts, they receive the highest royalties in the industry and have access to unique tools and services.
These 7 years have been ones of constant improvement and innovation, during which we introduced, just to name a few:
- Our all-in-one user dashboard.
- The freelance jobs section with the lowest fees (5%) for freelance 3D design works.
- The uniquely convenient 3D model upload tool.
- An industry leading real-time marketplace analytics tool.
Stellar growth and promoting 3D
Our designer-friendly approach, transparent and fair practices is what drove our growth from 10,000 users in 2013, to almost 1,500,000 in mid-2018. We believe that CG and 3D will continue growing and changing the way everyone experiences the world. We are doing our part by constantly running numerous design challenges, art competitions, annual student scholarships and other contests to strengthen our community and promote all aspects of 3D to outsiders.
Massive CGTrader birthday sale
With all of these activities in full swing, our community is placing a cherry on the birthday cake – a special sale, where, for a limited time, designers from our community can let buyers purchase great models at a discount. Every designer can choose whether they want to participate in the birthday sale and set their own discount rate. The sale is running for the week of 22-29 May and thousands of designers have already put over 250,000 3D models on sale with up to 50% discounts.
Go to our 3D models page and splurge on some premium 3D assets – a celebration of this magnitude comes up only so often!
Sellers on CGTrader can use this sale to attract new buyers and get rewards. Check your email or contact support@cgtrader.com to find out how you can get sales with 100% royalties by bringing new buyers to CGTrader.
