hey guys ;D
first of a big thanks to everyone who has downloaded my plants the images you have posted with them in are all amazing there will be more HQ free models on the way! (just when the internet decides it wants to work on actual broadband not dial up ::) )
Now you may of heard that im thinking of setting up a plant website
Lately i have been really busy with school work and stuff but im still going to go through with it.
well heres what im going to do
First im going to use a proper model sharing site (turbo squid and daz) to sell some of my models
then when i get abit of money i am going to set up my own website as many people recommended. my models will be targeted for alot of highend programs such as cinema 4d maya max modo etc but i think my main target will be terragen users
on my site i would hope to have
*a well cataloged store for my plants all in different plant type categorys
* a forum where people can talk about plants (sounds so exciting........) also plant requests competions random chat and of coarse terragen discussion!
* A gallery where people can post there images
i think that would be it for my site
the reason i have not sold any models earlier on is first school ::) and second crappy newzealand internet
(dam you telecom >:(!.
new zealands communications is actually as bad as some of the 3rd world countries im being serious.....
but i got dad to switch the plan from 3gb bandwidth to 30gb bandwidth which is a little better i mean i only can upload at 30kb per second thats how crappy it is!!!
my first trees to go on sale will be European broad leaf trees oaks elm's ashes birch's etc then i will probably go onto pine trees and so on
please if you have any opinions and recommendations please feel free to post
thanks jack ;D
i think it's a good idea, your plants, as far as i have seen, are very professional. good that you still want to release freebies ;)
Sounds like you thought this through quite thoroughly...a good idea, and good luck with the sales idea as well. Your models have consistently high standards and should be well recieved by pros and hobbiests alike.. ...
Hey Jack
good luck with your exams
sounds like a good plan - looking forward to seeing this up and running.
Might be worth producing application specific versions of your models to increase customer confidence, and widen your customer base?
Good idea, and an ambitious project. Your plants are quality made and "work" with perfectly. I hope you will succeed and thank you again for your "grass" in low and high resolution I find it really superb.
I think you should continue to build plants low (Pissenlit; Ray-gras; Fétuque; Graminées) is what is lacking most to make our realistic images!
Sorry for my English, but I pass by a translator and it is what it's worth!

Yes. The very same.

if the download count of my first model on that specific format is good then in my next products i will sell it in the format (this applys to all formats)
oh and my business is going to be called Floraworks i need to get to work on a logo ;D
Lightning,
Contact John over at Vanishing Point www.vanishingpoint.biz ; I spoke to him recently about brokering models for Terragen. It's a great site.
