Social media enhances everyone to communicate, interact, share and talk. Even those, who are not really talkative turn into chatterboxes. There are billions of topics to discuss, myriads of ideas to express and enormous need to be heard. Social mainstream channels, thousands of distinct forums and discussion rooms try to serve this global need. There were even a few revolutions organized using Facebook and Twitter. CGTrader does not intend to start a revolution, but launches...

Community is a crucial element of the digital society. Usually marketplaces do care about the customers and the potential wealth they are expected to bring. So, they build want-buy-sell relationship, based on the principle of hierarchy between a seller and buyer. CGTrader.com does not believe in this. We choose to care by having a professional artist community and becoming the most community-friendly platform for 3D designers. In order to raise our family of artists and...

Designers and studios on 3D model marketplaces are not only talented creators, but also good salespeople. The ones, who understand how a trading system works. Nevertheless, 3D model trading sometimes leads 3D designers to the endless headache of questioning themselves: what do the buyers really need? CGTrader.com has found the answer to this Hamlet-style question. Therefore, we are opening the dashboard for custom modeling. Now if you know what you want, but cannot find it...

Lots of the people believe that any progress finally results in regression. It is pointless to argue with the convinced ones. Personally, I appreciate any technology that can improve the life of a human being just by helping to warm up yesterday's dinner in the microwave or washing dishes instead of going through trouble to do it yourself. But there's technology that can completely transform one's life. 3D printing is the exact sphere to seek...

Europe is definitely not enough. U.S.A. is more, but still not enough. India - makes it better. But...Sometimes even the world is not enough. CGTrader.com is a great example of that. After being working with PayPal payment system closely, CGTrader.com decided to integrate one more international payment gateway - Skrill (previously Moneybookers). And this opens up the markets from China to Ivory Coast. Since now 3D designers from 102 more countries are eligible to join...

Finally, the sky turned blue. And we keep moving forward. New Year-made promises are step by step being fulfilled within our team. The long-awaited new CGTrader's system has been launched in the beginning of April. CGTrader left the amazon model and went eBay. Our 3D object library is rapidly expanding: March has brought a tremendous amount of fresh and creative 3D models. Jeez, I am sure now, 3D allows you to design anything. Any-thing. Extraordinary...

There are several ways to go about implementing a vision. We have ours. For the last 4 months we had a single goal. It got us so addicted to what we do that it made our office our second home. It resulted in bottomless cups of coffee and tea, sleepless nights for the programmers, loads of stress and code combinations, dozens of chocolate bars and a serious headache on how to make a dream come...

This morning has started with a cup of coffee and a huge piece of sweet cake in the office. Smells like a birthday. And it definitely is. Today CGTrader has a two year birthday anniversary. It means that 731 days have already passed by catching a dream and making it real. No, this Friday is not a day-off for us. All together we go further. This is the reason why I would like to thank...

It has been a few weeks already since we hung a huge poster on the wall in the office. Just for the numbers. Almost consequently we started following a fast-growing number of uploaded 3D models on CGTrader. Once it led to a sweepstake guessing what amount of 3D models will be uploaded in three days. The winner was given an extremely delicious chocolate and a lottery ticket. Then each member of our team began to...

All the poets like to highlight that having a dream is the first step towards it. So as some of you may have already read or heard, we are very excited to announce that we have just made the second big step towards our vision. We have recently raised a seed funding round from Practica Capital fund! To those who do not know, CGTrader was launched in 2011. The main purpose of creating this kind...
