Idea # 1 So, my idea is that members should be able to sell models. This would be a new way to make robux. Some people know how to script, but aren't good enough to make a full fledged game. People put a lot of hard work into their models, and people use them for free and don't give credit. A good example of this is tadcool's "Boys vs Girls island wars" the tree-house, tanks, and boats are all free modeled. My idea is that to make models cost robux/tix you would have to pay a marketplace fee of maybe 10 - 50 robux, so that not every model would be costly. Because of ratings, you won't have to buy models that are intended to break other peoples games. This should be optional and not preset.

Idea # 2 My second idea for free models is a credit section below the description that lists all of the free models used and who they were made by so that people who make the models can get credit. This will give hardworking scripters the credit they deserve, and they may even get place visits if a front page game lists that they made an essential part of people's favorite game. This will also force developers to give credit where it is due. This would also prevent false titling in games because if someone made a false thumbnail people would know if it were free-modeled.

Thank you for reading. If you support idea number 1 say Support 1, if you support idea 2 say support 2 and if you support both say support 1 & 2. Same with no supports. Also, please provide a reason for why you like or dislike my idea.

They're called >>FREE<< Models for a reason. It'd also just anger people more. They have more than enough money as is.

People would still have the option to seel for free if they want to contribute. Also, officialy it's called models not free models. Lastly, do you not support 1, 2, or both?

This has nothing to do with the price floor, and also, just because they're free now doesn't mean that can't be optional. Some begginer scripters can't make games, but they should still be able to make robux.

Beginner scripters can't make gameworthy models either then.

Also, they could scam using un-free models or produce really terrible ones for a bad price

Support 1.
Selling good models would be good.
Though free to take option still would be required.
Support 2 too, but I think it'd be very hard to make in ROBLOX. Too much bugs would be here.

Hmm, an idea for such models that break places. If a model has at least 1 script in it, there would be message when you try to buy it, like "WARNING! This model contains scripts. Scammers can use it do destroy your places! Use such models at your own risk." Something like that.

@terry, my point is that if people can script, just not well enough to profit from a game they can sell models. Simple.

I think I speak for many people when I say the most advanced builders and scripters here began by messing around with freemodels. They should always be free so that anyone can use them to see how they work.

@72Tom, why ROBLOX wouldn't make some free scripted models so newb builders would learn from them?

They would be free by default, so that people who have left roblox will still leave free models behind as free, but if you want you can sell them. There are plenty of people who have good games but don't have enough robux for ads or can't keep it popular. This would be an alternative to make robux.

Free models are free. End of story, the only cost for using them should be being considered a n00b, and only if you spam them obviously.

Someone could buy someone else's work, go to studio, publish it as their own work for an extremely lower price!

As much as I want to support, it's not going to be easy to implement, maybe impossible.

*Buys model*
*Sells it for cheaper*
...Unless pricefloor.

No support like this.

Idea # 1 So, my idea is that members should be able to sell models. This would be a new way to make robux. Because of ratings, you won't have to buy models that are intended to break other peoples games. This should be optional and not preset.

The problem many people give is, "Is it what the TN is, or is the TN a screenshot?" Or, even better, someone makes the most fangasmic L2A7+ model, and sells it for x. Then someoneElse downloads the model from someone, and uploads it for x/3456345635665. There'd have to be database entries made for EVERY model, that contain it's creator information, storing them as a tag inside of all the parts. If someone uploads a model, it would need to verify the creator isn't a re-uploader.

So unfortunately it isn't ready in this form. Roblox has spent literally DAYS thinking of something that'd work to sell models.
