***3D Clip Art Price War?
By Rob Glidden
3Name3D has dropped the price on its Cyberprops 3D clip art collection
from $395 to $49 per volume of 100+ models.
Goal: establish a new price point for midrange 3D clip art: low to medium
res models for general use across hobbyist, graphic designer and
professional markets.
According to Steve Wallock, 3Name3D had good response at the previous
$395 price, but "we had the audience of only one type of user - "the well
funded professional." The new price "opens up a whole new market. It's a
consumer market now". 3Name3D will continue its custom modeling services.
Although there are already public domain and brokered 3D collections
available in this price range, Cyberprop's price drop is significant
because it involves models designed and developed in-house from a company
in the professional custom modeling field.
Cyberprops are available in .obj, .3ds, .hrc and .dxf formats.
