If you know your way around 3D modeling software like Blender, Wings 3D or Sculptris, it could mean cash.
There's an emerging market for buying and selling 3D models – especially to game designers, animators and other industry professionals looking for ready-created content.
Ready, Set, Software
Blender is by far one of the most popular (and free!) options for 3D modeling – according to their website, Google Analytics showed almost half a million downloads per month in 2014!
Here are some options for getting model ready:
- Blender for PC, Mac OSX, and GNU/Linux
- Blender for Android (Prototype)
- Wings 3D for PC, Mac OSX, Linux Ubuntu and Other Linux
- Sculptris for PC or Mac OSX
- Autodesk Maya for PC, Mac OSX, Red Hat Linux and Cent OS Linux

While I couldn't find much information on Renderosity except a direct link to the marketplace and a link to join, they are hailed in the 3D modeling community for being a great resource for tech news, learning and selling your work. Definitely worth checking out.

Getting into It
Browse through catalogues and see what's selling right now – like anything else, it's down to knowing the market and knowing the consumer.
Hone your craft: The internet is filled with tutorials, guides, and more helpful info – make use of it where available. Nobody can be expected to know everything!
Build your portfolio (yes, even if it means taking some low-paying jobs when you start out) and make sure people know where to find you. A simple WordPress blog can be enough to make an impression.
Research and understand rights: Be sure what rights you're selling – ask the site if you aren't sure. You don't want a copyright suit on your hands should you decide to use a model you sold previously.
Backup, backup, and backup: I always encourage those working digitally to back-up in as many places as possible and then some more. Never risk losing your work!
When working in multiple formats and on the move, use this handy 3D model converter from GreenToken.
