Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
3D MarketSquare is a cutting-edge marketplace for 3D assets, offering a wide range of models for industries like architecture, gaming, and product visualization. We aim to create a community-driven platform with features like a reputation system, affiliate marketing tools, and loyalty rewards for creators and buyers.
We chose crowdfunding for several reasons:
- Community Involvement: Crowdfunding allows us to build a platform with input from the people who will use it - 3D creators and buyers.
- Transparency: It ensures that our goals and progress are transparent to the community.
- Initial Funding: While we are committed to building 3D MarketSquare, crowdfunding helps accelerate the development of key features like a robust reputation system, affiliate marketing tools, and loyalty programs.
When we began exploring funding options for 3D MarketSquare, traditional platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo initially seemed promising. However, more profound research revealed significant shortcomings that we couldn’t overlook. Negative reviews on sites like Trustpilot consistently highlighted unreliable service, poor customer support, and widespread dissatisfaction among backers and creators.

These concerns made us question whether we could entrust our project - and our supporters - to platforms with such inconsistent reputations. Moreover, the substantial fees charged by these platforms for simply hosting campaigns felt unreasonable, especially given that marketing efforts still fall entirely on creators. It became clear that these platforms didn’t align with our core values of trust, transparency, and efficiency.
Rather than compromise, we chose to create something better. By building our crowdfunding platform, we’re taking control of the process to ensure a trustworthy, transparent, and community-focused experience. This approach allows us to prioritize the ethical use of funds and empower creators and backers in ways traditional platforms often fail to achieve.
Our decision reflects our commitment to funding 3D MarketSquare and building a stronger foundation for our community and its future.
Even if we don’t reach our crowdfunding target, 3D MarketSquare will still be built. The crowdfunding campaign is designed to speed development and enhance the platform’s initial features. The timeline may be adjusted without full funding, but our commitment to launching the marketplace remains the same.
