I don't know if it's just the nature of the beast or not, Sharon. As advised, we started with free models to see if our historical based work was wanted. The download figures were huge so, we went ahead with some sales, not expecting anything like the numbers from the free stuff, but even a small percentage would have been great! But no! Only several purchases have happened. Maybe this is because we're not doing naked woman, or costumes, or they were just the wrong models at the wrong time or at too much money. I do know we're giving it until the end of this month to see if things pick up, if they don't, there be no more models from us, free or otherwise. Stopping free stuff may not be the answer though. Regulating it might, but I don't know how you'd do it? There are a lot of people out there who rely on free stuff because they can't afford to buy models. We want to help those people, which is why we offer free models and textures at our own site and Renderosity. It also attracts clients. But, I have to say, it would be nice to get some return. In the end it may come down to the survival of the 'strong' or the 'lucky', and as much as we're feeling the effects of that ourselves, it just may be the way it is.
