Who Buys 3d Models
And who buys 3D models?I used models that were over $200, but would otherwise take well over a weeks to build, and that is under the assumption that I could find all the credentials needed to build the one. The type of models and how they are used depend entirely on the circumstances. Many of the models, such as building, are used as themes for advertisements or spots, or as themes for animation.
The models can also be used as the focal point of the motion picture according to the circumstances, but as you said, it's quite uncommon because it can be difficult to find exactly what you need. Now I can (try to) present a theoretical position to make things clearer. Suppose none of this can be shot in the physical environment, there is a great deal still to be done.
Suppose it would take a lone performer 2 short months to re-create the whole recording from the ground up. Assuming the performer gets $200 per night (probably on the low side) and works for 6 days, you have a grand cost of $2,400. This does not include texts or credentials that need to be purchased.
Now, let's say that there is a 3D cityscene that is available for $500, plus a $200 car park scenario, and a $400 car park scenario. We' re now at $1,250, but there's probably a few working hours for the performer to put everything together and make the last items or change the purchased ones.
So we can reduce the overall price to $1,500 or $900 less than to pay the performer to do anything. Of course, this is not entirely correct, since it is only a question of a few chance numbers and durations, but the point is that despite the expense of the models that can appear high, speed is still cash, so it is about what is least expensive.
