How does the moderation process work?

CGMood will evaluate your 3D model before approving it. This process is very important in order to guarantee a higher quality standard, avoid unrelated content, poorly made models and scam.

Your 3D models are evaluated according to a set of completely objective rules:

• Modeling quality
• Complexity of the subject
• Shaders quality
• Textures quality
• Presentation quality (thumbnail and other renders)
• Similarity with the manufacturer's product (if your 3D model is a reproduction of an existing product)

All these factors will lead to a score that determines whether your model will be Artist or Free, and your increase of reputation.

Reputation gains

• Every Free model you upload +15
• Every Artist model you upload +20

Reputation benefits

• Uploading 5 Free models during the past 30 days rewards you with our Basic subscription benefits!

You can always keep track of all this stuff from your profile area.

Sales on free models

Every user who uploads Free models can accept offerings from the customers who want to say thanks. The user will receive the amount according to his\her current fee.

Also, when you donate at least 5.99€ you will be awarded with 2 Exclusive models.

How do I get paid?

You get your amount from sales right away: the money you earn will be stored into your wallet.

You can request a money transfer from your wallet to your PayPal account once in a month. Your request will be processed in the next 3 working days. Or you can keep the amount in your CGMOOD wallet as long as you wish, if you plan on using it to purchase content.

As of now, we send payments through PayPal. Once your have your first Artist model approved, or you have some money in your wallet, you may fill out your PayPal account information from your profile page. If you don't have a PayPal account, we suggest you to create one for free, otherwise you will not be able to receive your payments.
