WOW ! What a great idea !!!

But to me, it looks like too much work again. I will pray and hope Envato will someday implement a portfolio wide html footer and header. Unless one can life from the AJ income, it’s simply impossible to invest that much time and effort (because there has some paid work to be done instead

It would be better Envato had a special subcategory for Adobe Photoshop Extended 3D files to make it more clearer for the customer what version he needs.

WORD !

And I think that is why the 2D Smart objects are far more popular, in 3 easy steps the client has a photorealistc approach of a logo/product without spending a cent on manufacturing to show to potential investors.

It is as easy as working with smartobject. Basically, the textures (designs) that will render onto the products are smart objects as well. 3 Steps : Open the texture layer, edit your design, render rhe final picture. Basic 3 knowledge is only needed if you want to rotate the objects, but even this is done simply by orbiting your object with the mouse in 3D space.

I personaly prefere 3D Mockups as often the 2D ones have not the view / angle i need to present the item from all sides etc.

A lot of users don’t even know and understand the amount of possibilities that PS 3D file is giving to them.

Thats exactly why i opened this Thread. My feeling is, that not even all of the reviewers are aware of the 3D possibilities Photoshop provides. It’s basically allmost a 3D Render application (just without being able to model items). So for me, a good 3D PS Mockup is like 2-3 days of work and delivers a highly editable file for customers. $6 is just not worth the work for me I even created a Youtube video with a demonstration what can be done with these kind of PS files, bit i might not be able to post that here due to self promotion issues.

Anyone else with experiences on 3D PS files for Envato ?

Since we are talking wishlists… Mine would be two additional spaces under the settings area for a global header and footer. It would save so much time and effort if I could just edit one block of code that would then execute across every page. Advertising new work, putting up “on vacation” notices and making up to date custom portfolio navigation would be so simple then!

THIS to support the authors who helped Envato getting some clean organised and neat looking portfolios like Tim’s. I know how much work it is to update hundred items each time one by one Requested by some of the Top Authors since 2 Years + !

Shortcodes: what for the others Youtube is, Soundcloud would be the best thing to implement for Audiojungle. We still have a “back to the roots” flash audioplayer and therefore missing customers on various non Flash devices.

Hello All

I created a few PS 3D Mockups recently for Graphicriver. This Mockups containing :

• real modeled 3D product than be rotated free in space (can be exported again from PS as obj.)
• all textures, UV maps and Materials used in the preview examples
• complete editable studio setup with Cyclorama, lights, enviroment reflection HDRI etc.
• example product labels as seen in the preview

A 2D Mockup is a static picture with a smart object simulating the rendering of the texture/design onto the product. No light settings, rotations, angles, shadows, reflections can be changed.

my question :

Are reviewers aware of which possibilities a PS 3D file delivers for a customer ? Should they not be priced a little higher than a static 2D Mockup ?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, i will contact support according to your answers.

Well, i thought they will at least read the specs and requirements. It’s just not good, if people buy the file and complain then that it does not work with their version of PS. Furthermore, they rate my file then with 1 Star

Hello all

I do sell some files, where a Adobe CS4-CS6 EXTENDED version is needed. Reason for this is the 3D ability that comes only with the extended versions.

Even if i have written it in my file description and in the FAQ section, people keep contacting me to complain about a file that is not working on their “normal” PS versions.

So, does any of you ever encountered a similar issue ? Would it be difficult for the DEV’s to implement that option to the dropdown menu ?

Thanks everyone and keep being creative

Allmost half the sales compared to my average sales per month. Probably bundle relared…i don’t know

I’ve been getting steady sales pretty much since I started uploading here a year and a bit ago, but even with a lot of effort marketing / promoting, trying to engage via social media etc and writing new material (with particular focus on writing tracks that sell here), there hasn’t been an increase in my earnings that reflects the effort i.e. I’ve had the same level of sales since the middle of last year despite consistently building my portfolio. It’s as if there’s a bottleneck / threshold for my sales.

same for me, sales are not bad, but no matter how much time and effort i put into my AJ portfolio (marketing, new tracks, cleaning the portfolio items etc.), changes are month by month around the exact same numbers. Thats not a bad thing, as it could also decrease in one month, but it’s not very motivating to put more effort into it since its not changing anything.

Another thing i found a bit weird regarding the top authors list. It’s not the same pair of shoes imo if you have a portfolio of 2000 FX that costs 1-2$ or if you have 100 tracks for around 10-15$. I can see that you can more easy get into the top authors list by selling from a FX portfolio, as it only counts how many items have been sold. Hope non of the FX authors gets offended by my thoughts, but i think it’s not really reflecting anything else than….well yes, how many items you’ve sold

I don’t like it. We slave away over keyboards, computers and ukuleles while other people steal, it appears…

True ! And this is why we all should have an eye open on the marketplace, as reviewers can’t know every track out there in the universe from every single genre or style. So it’s also up to us to protect our original work and ban authors which came to AJ to earn some fast cash with stolen tracks !

And remember, better open a support ticket instead of posting it here !
