Like anywhere else, it obviously depends on the product(s) you are selling. I don't make anywhere near as much profit selling bodybags and wheelchairs as bond1 or Errant earns from their 'current-gen' characters and weapons. But by the same token, it takes them much more time and effort to produce that kind of media, and it does more than just hang from the ceiling.

Take a look in TGC store at other people's products. Multiply the point value the product is selling for by the number of downloads it's recieved, and divide it by two. That's the profit that seller has earned for that one model. If you're looking to make a fast $50, you'll need to either get into weapon/character modeling, or upload several models as opposed to one.

I find it also helps boost your sales if you add media that hasn't been available before. I noticed a lot of people on the forums were asking for a wheelchair model, so I made one, and now it's one of the highest downloaded models in my account.

No, each point a cent

{edit} You need to make custom flak IMO, but look some tank rounds up on the net to make a better one than you have.

Ok, sorry.
You should make your own flak model, but first you should look up tank shells on the internet so you'll have a better reference.
If you want, I can throw one together quick.

Looks good, but you could add a little bit more detail to the texture/model. Right now I the only detail i can see is the tracks, and the blueprint you used
Add some shadows, battledamage, dust, blood (or maybe not ).

Flak looks ok, maybe make it a little bit darker. Trail looks great.

@Cyborg Art
The flak is ok in lighting terms I think..because having a trail behind it wouldnt it be so lightned up?

@fallen one
each tank is 2 pieces and there are T-34 and Sherman tanks. I have a PZKW 5 (Panther) but I'll release it when WASP mod is out.

Short answer = No.

You need to have $200 in sales before you ever see any money from it.

I maybe have 1 item which has made true profit and I think that that's my machete... Because it only took a few hours start to finish. There are others with higher sales figures but they haven't broke even on the costs/time to make them.

I'm sure they will in the next year or so.
