Has Viewpoint ever publicized the success rate of brokered models, from the perspective of the modeler? I heard a tale of woe from one guy who's brokered models with you… he complained that he thought his models were nifty, and that you guys thought they'd sell, and that they appeared in the catalog, but there's never been an actual sale of his model, so his models have been tied up in an exclusive arrangement with Viewpoint for all this time, and he can't license them to anyone else… Personally, I believe there's an infinite demand for 3D models, except customers always find that they can't even buy a pre-made model for the object they *really* want, because this would require model-making companies to digitize everything in the real and imaginary world, at twelve resolutions plus motions. 🙂
