Preface: I'm biased. I have a model with 23,927 and other models with 1k+ takes.

I think it would be great to be able to monetize models on ROBLOX in some sort of way. There are two ways ROBLOX could do this:

1. Paid models! Like paid access for places, paid models should be an option. I think the people who make the coolest scripts should be able to ask for users to pay for their good stuff. It would cut down on the free model-filled games that we always see.

Biggest challenge would be to prevent others from publishing and selling the models that they bought. I would have suggested that all bought scripts should be unviewable, but I learned some Lua scripting from looking at free model scripts, and that would prevent others from doing the same. So that part is a tough problem to fix. :/

2. It can be based on the number of takes. Every 100 takes you get 10 Robux? I don't know... It would just be nice to get some money from models.

Free models are great, they help new builders, its just how people use them! Someone can use a few free models and make a great game if set up well together..... But im all for the paid models, I would love to sell a few models!

Hmm... I get what you mean, some models deserved to be payed for. But it may turn up to be the next P2P Rant revolution with the pay to play games on Roblox, only it wouldn't be as worse because models < games.

I'm half and half :\

No support.
Reasons;
~People already used a lot of models over the years
~Using studio, you can get models for free
~You can copy someone Else's model, and take credit for building it, and sell it.

I guess it would make more sense to do the other one.

100 takes = 10(?) Robux. No model selling.

There are a lot of ways that most of these problems can be fixed. However, I do not fully agree on the idea. Mainly because it lacks concept and ideas.

Yeah, model selling working like paid access is a bad idea overall. As Tjardis pointed out, models have been around too long. If ROBLOX was going to do paid models, it should have happened at the beginning.

So they should do this instead: Every 100 takes = 15 Robux. Good enough, right? :)

I now disagree with the paid models idea I came up with, but a certain amount of takes = money works out, right? :)

Fix:

Can only sell models if you have 10,000+ takes on 1 model.

That means if you just copy it you won't be getting money, you also can have a new report abuse feature: Model Theft.

You can sell models minimum 1 tix, maximum 1000R$.

This seems like a good idea with this fix

remember, it's all about "certain number of takes = money" now. but 1 take = 1 ticket shouldn't happen i think.

Nice idea, selling forts will be easier, so scamming.


Like.

Buy my T-Shirt first and I will make my model (The fort) for free.

He buys the t-shirt and the doesn't make it free.

Sell the model for 500 robux (EXAMPLE)

And it's done.

Anyone can still upload a model, but only BC's can sell a model. This would make sure Nbc's still have models to help them learn. I do however like the idea of being paid for each 100 takes, maybe both?
