First store I'll be reviewing as you could see from
my picture going to be
TurboSquid. If you at least a little familiar with modeling and selling 3d models online, you of course know TurboSquid. It's one of the biggest stores (I'm not sure, maybe even biggest one). Also It has biggest traffic from all others.
First impression really good. Maybe newest thing advertisement takes to much space. Then you can see their partners. Pretty impressing list seeing such a well known companies like
Pixar,
Activision and others. After that, there is some categories - most of them are 3d models categories, but there's also
3Ds Max plugins and Textures. At the end of page you can find menus for everything you'd need to find on website. I'd prefer, if they'd be placed in more visible place.
Registering to TurboSquid is very simple and takes only a minute. Uploading and publishing products could look little complex at first. If you want publish your 3d model, first you need upload it. After uploading, you need set a lot of parameters, write description, add tags and photos. But don't be afraid, if you forget something, you couldn't publish it and some help tips will show what you need to add.
Browsing through store helps a lot of different filters, but sometimes they can be a little frustrating, since you always need to turn them off. But if you know, what you need, they can really help you fast to find it.
Most negative feedback I saw on web related to TurboSquid is that they have huge commissions rate compared to other stores. If you just want to sell your model on more stores and you just starting, you'll get only 40% of your model price. There is possibility to earn up to 80%, but that involves a lot of work and selling models only on TurboSquid.
In general, it's very good store, if you looking to buy models, since they have huge collection. Also they offer textures, plugins and software. So you can use it not only as 3d models marketplace. But, if you want sell models, I'm not recommending stay only on TurboSquid.
