Is that a new thing when you can't order a model for less than $70 even if it's a very simple model that doesn't take longer than 20 minutes to make?
They should increase it to 100$ 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.
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 $42 and up”. That’s probably causing some confusion if it’s not true.
It doesn't matter if the price is 50-70 or 100$, or if the project requires 20min or 20hours. We must compete with sculptors from all over the world, there being countries where the average salary is barely $200. For those sculptors it will always be a good deal.
The really sad and amoral thing is that most employers come here knowing that, they offer $50 for 20 and 40 hour jobs, they know that there will always be someone more desperate, someone who lives in one of those countries, or simply someone who needs those 50 to eat this week.
Someone must be a very mean person to do this, but it is the reality of Freeland projects all over the internet.
Oh well, Now these people who need $50 to eat will not have even that.............
I can model myself, but was outsourcing because of the high volume of orders, now I will hire guys from other places than CG.....
