Hi everyone, I am thinking about starting to sell my own models and was wondering if my models require animations for people to buy them. I can model, texture and animate but would really like to avoid animating if I can, any thoughts you have would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Ryan.

if they are animated they will cost more, if they are not they will nearly cost half.

Check turbosquid for how much a model can be sold.

yeah, cheers. I know they will cost less without animations, I was wondering more if people would actually buy unanimated models or would only spend money on fully animated models.

Well ryan , one thing you can do is create a set of custom stock animations , i.e. , walk , run , duck , jump , die , attack , get hit , or something , and save the animations as bip or something , then you can use the same stock animations for any models you make , so you wont have to create anims from scratch for each model.

Good idea, that never occured to me, thanks.
