No indication what the product actually is, though. It's very badly presented. OK, some pretty scenes, but what are they? For all the store info tells you, you could be buying a bunch of pre-rendered scenes to use as alpha planes.

"A fully customizable cosmos for scene building" "Infinite stratospheric environments for your next planetfall" Doesn't sound like backdrop renders to me but if there's any confusion, my apologies.

well it sounds interesting but i have to agree with phantast, i would have enjoyed some in depth product description and some gui pics, wip images. sorry monsoon im sure its one more realy nice product from you but theres no explanation at all as to what you get for those 20 us$.

Ok...done. Or at least as much as can be. There is no GUI...it's a gigantic scene file. And all those pics are directly from it. Thanks for the input!!

Afterthoughts.....I opted for the scene file format instead of zipped mat and object collections so as to provide an example of how they are used and put together....a live tutorial kind of thing as opposed to a long winded written one. The same concept is behind the free stuff Island. Is it better just to provide zipped collections? Does the scene file take something away from a product? What do you think....I value these opinions.

The key thing is to let the customer know exactly what they are getting, in as much detail as possible. People are not going to spend $20 on the basis of a few nice renders. You need to put somewhere the number of objects (broken down by type) and the number of mats (ditto). Phrases like "Infinite stratospheric environments for your next planetfall" are just hyperbole.

Yep, Phantast.... that's advertizing... :D No, I agree - some concrete details would be nice...

nah not at all monsoon, the scene aproach actually makes it better in my humble opinion, the island was great and distributing it as a complete scene is a nice move on your part. but as phantast said, including the number of mats and objects etc in your product description will make your product more attractive to potential buyers. Explaining just as you did in this thread that it is a scene complete with x number of planets, atmospheres etc, etc will make it much more attractive in the buyers eyes and make sure you avoid any misinterpretations.

Thanks for your replies folks. I also agree...but as I'm still experimenting with this merchant thing, breaking down the details is something I overlooked with this one. I will remedy that. Thanks again.
