Hi again,

I am aware that the concept is unusual, but so far it has actually been pretty successful and here is why:
What you would do to make it work for you as a professional artist is look at it from the other direction. Think that the professional use prices are the ones you should consider when you are a person who creates commercial work. Not necessarily for the next image or animation you make, but if chances are that you will use thes products at one point, then you always buy the commercial price, and you'll never have to worry about it again.

Think that our commcercial use prices/license are the same category like  the cornucopia or turobosquid prices/license. Just that we offer choice for private users, which other 3d model shops don't do and probably never will.

The private use prices are actually made available for strict hobby user. If you don't make money from artistic work at all, just do it for leisure, then we agree to give you a huge discount. These are the private use prices. For hobby users, getting a decent library of high quality vegetation can be very costly, so we tried out this "different" approach in pricing. We're offering products under this model now for a couple of months, and so far have had very positive feedback about it.

It's interesting that you all have looked at the private use prices first, and then struggled with making sense of it  for you as professional artists, whereas you should have looked at the commercial use prices as "your" pricing model only.

I hope this is making more sense now. I appreciate your openess on the subject and that you have shared your thoughts with me, although I do not have any vue reputation on this forum.

Best regards,
Frank
