You could also sell advanced tutorials in the Renderosity Store as well. (Similiar to how Blacksmith 3D Does with advanced tutorials)

I actually would stay with my advice to use Patreon. It can give transparency to the amount we are supporting the development of VWD and goals are a good way to encourage willingness of the support. Also, usually if you want to sell something in stores like renderosity, you want to have some "package", something bigger to sell and it tends to hang around in a queue for a little bit before released. Patreon is much more flexible. You can release small tutorials in an instant, make polls which tutorials are most anticipated and you are closer to the community which is supporting you overall.

I expect Gérald to still going with it, but I just wanted to clarify the benefits of Patreon to you.

My thinking behind that is to have extra exposure in a reliable, targeted market place (i.e Renderosity ) where past and new customers know where to find and buy VWD. While a great idea, Patreon may take some time and continued effort to drive people there.

He will definitely want to add Patreon links on his Youtube or Social media accounts so people know where to go. He could sell in both places and have double exposure, and potentially more sales.

I agree
