Uh, $70 for each model in a community where everything made and released is non-profit?

Streetboat is right. Moved to off-topic. The resources section is not for advertising models for purchase. Expensive ones too for no real reason.

RE: FP - Alien Character Models!

I was going to accuse you of grossly inflating the prices but it appears like the majority of the models on that site are equally expensive. Does anybody ever buy these things? On one hand if you're just making a non-commercial mod there are thousands of people who would gladly model for free (and many of them are quite talented) and on the other if you're making a commercial game and have a large enough budget to spend hundreds of dollars on models then you can also afford to hire a professional modeler, who would probably be cheaper and could create models tailored specifically toward your game's aesthetic design. Don't mean to impugn your business model or anything, I understand that you want to make money like everybody else, but this is ridiculous in my opinion. Notwithstanding the fact that I'd be reluctant to pay even $5 for stock models, the modeling work is in my opinion not particularly impressive. It certainly does not warrant such high prices.

RE: FP - Alien Character Models!

These models aren't made specifically for amnesia, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong section. However, the price is really what people pays for those kind of models. I, too, would never pay that much for a model, but apparently there are people who does, and it's a pretty big market.

I was looking for more feedback regarding the actual models, instead of the way I'm selling them.

I'd imagine the market is for architects who want to create a visualization on short notice and don't want to hire an artist just for one or two assets. But yes, there is a market, which is why these sites exist.

RE: FP - Alien Character Models!

In my opinion, they don't seem to differ much other than proportions and anatomy (which is strange in all of them. Not a natural look to things such as their spine). And it seems like the artist threw the model into Zbrush/Mudbox and only used one brush the whole time. When it comes to quality:price, It doesn't match very well here to me. I would say $20 at most to perhaps sell it. Vary up the details and have more variety in the pack and it might be more worth such a price.

If you say so.
