Budget can't be less than $70 ?

If you know it just takes 20 minutes to make, why don't you design one?

I guess it's 3rd "bright" idea. To increase minimal project cost in order to make designers receive more money. But what is bothering to change minimal price back to 50$ and project commission to 5-10%?

They should increase it to 100$ if you ask me, so there will be less people who post projects stating that their budget is 50$ but they need fully high detailed (sculped) hq Statue of Liberty that actually cost over 500$. Even 100$ is not enough... People must understand that CG stuff is expensive "sport", the other thing is that buyers are used to 3d artists who enjoy slavery and are willing to sell their soul for couple of bucks and not respect their own sacrifice and work.

If I do a job in 20 minutes, it's because I have spent years learning how to do it well and quickly. Customer have to pay for the years of experience it took to get to this point, not the 20 minutes.

oh well, CG will be pushing customers to others sites who wants to order models for reasonable prices and these 3d designers who was earning money here will be losing their orders, simple as that.....

these jobs you're talking about would be priced higher than $70 anyhow , so it changes nothing for the designers. If you look at the supply / demand situation you'll see that there much more demand for modeling than supply of orders like when I placed an order for $180 I got over 80 offers with bidding it down to $60 for the lowest . CG should of done research before pulling this move...

I've read more complaints from the artists saying that they are getting the shaft when it comes to doing jobs rather than saying it was an equitable deal. Perhaps that's why CGT changed it. I'm not saying they changed it for the betterment of the customer or the artists, but it definitely is better for them.

Maybe someone should remove the pricing on the home pages that reads “from $42 and up”. That’s probably causing some confusion if it’s not true.
