No more reputation points for free downloads
I just recently uploaded a few models. One of them is this: https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/space/spacecraft-sci-fi/nyx-class-destroyer. its a free starship model. Now my notifications say nothing about it having ever been downloaded but when i check its stats they say it has been downloaded twice. Idk why i got no notification or if i did even get or not get rep points for that. CgT, please look into it. Thank you.

So wait ... No points and no notifications either? i mean the little teeny +1 for a free download... eh whatever... but id still like to know when and who downloads my stuff. free or not. I guess this is a good way to discourage giving things away.
Ah. hadn't caught that. Thanks for all your input :)
This is so great! Thanks CGT!
Well I am happy they kept the info about who is uploading our models but removed the points for freeloading lol :) I think we all benefit from it hehehe
I am not sure if it has been added to the options yet but I have been fighting for that limit for a while now lol. I will take one win at a time lol.
The only problem with putting a limit though is when you have return buyers and clients who you need and want to share models with. Then if there is a limit it becomes troublesome to share models with them. Ideally clients should contact artists directly and ask permission to download
If people reach the limit and can't download free models from here, they are going to download from another website. This reduces the time they spend navigating in CGtrader. They potentially miss models that they may buy in the future and they may get used to those other websites and become regular customers.
HI Maroans,
It's interesting that you didn't receive the notification for the download. Is it still the case? As it is a possibly one-time bug, Let me know if you're still not receiving the notifications for downloads.
Hi, yeah, i don't get notified of free model downloads. It's happened 3 times that i am aware of. Thanks.
I don't get notified either... I only get notified for things like replies on forums but the other strange things is no notification of points for uploading new models... Is that normal?
That can't be normal, my friend. Cuz i do get notifications of uploading models and as well for just about everything else. Sometimes even the notifications dont clear after i checked them, when i reload the site, the little notification bell has numbers on it again. but it'll all be old stuff O_O
I see thanks Maroans :)
