We're Listening. We're Building Together.

As a long-time subscriber, a subscriber of many Patreons, and at one point a subscriber or literally 60 Patreons, this is definitely a bad move. CA3D is definitely one of the best, and they are continuing to get better, and they do make some amazing unique models, but the current price that is being paid is the standard - even whom I consider the best is at that price point. Creating the new tier and and increasing the price is only going to hurt everybody. It's going to hurt CA3D in the long run because people will cancel, wait till the end of the year and then subscribe one time to get everything. If it does become successful, then that will make other creators more inclined to raise their prices, because they will say "Hey, they raised their price and people are still subscribing, so we should do the same thing". Then it is a nasty race to the top that nobody will benefit from. My advice is to keep doing what they are doing and not try to improve all the time by adding more content, just keep adding great and unique content that will keep people around. Offer better loyalty rewards for various months; i.e. 3 month reward, 6 month reward, 9 month reward, 12 month reward, etc. Make those rewards unique and only available to long-term backers and you will keep, and increase, long-term backers. You don't have to go from 4 models per month to 8 models per month to 12 models per month. Just keep the exquisite quality, make polls and content that people want, and give loyalty rewards and I think everybody will be a happy camper.

Or instead of 45 a month why not 35 a month for vip tier and most might jump up 10 more a month but jumping 20 a month when I have another subscription also is a little bit crazy to me

I’m concerned also I’ve been here with CA3D for a year and a half and I pay the 20 something dollar tier and I hope that the platinum tier isn’t just a money grab for one more exclusive print

Grandfather the current vip in at $20 and than up the vip tier to three months. I know your calculations are at 45 a month for current members. But how many will stay. 45 in three months you get everything. After 5 months you move to 20. That way you get increased initial revenue but also incentive to retain. I really didn’t have incentive to stay after the 5th month when I first joined but after experiencing the community I was ready to stay signed on for 20 a month to keep getting everything monthly. You’re literally positioning yourself to have people come grab everything for $90 and just leave. Or move to a lower tier to keep getting monthly releases. So charge higher entry fee. And give incentive to stay. If you’re going to cater to quick in and out than offer a $200 for everything now price. If you grandfather all existing subs to the premium subscription at 20 than no one is upset. It sucks for those of us convincing our friends to join but I don’t think anyone would be mad that you’re trying to get all the artist more money. But there really is no incentive to stay on at $45 a month after the full catalog unlock. The only way to make that worth while is to offer premium models to only them. I’ve signed on here because I didn’t like that business model being offered by other studios. And even with one premium model a month I my self wouldn’t bite. I would just buy the models I really like individually and get rid of the sub completely.

We asked you to hear us, and my fellow modelers, we have been heard. That scene from Game of Throwns... House Tate, remembers. We know no King but the king of Patreon, CA3D! You are my king, from this day 'til the last day. The in the North! The King in the North! Thank you all.

Ohhhhhh man! This gentleman, will determine soooooooo much. On one hand, being a fan of ca3d before I purchased my first resin printer, Im hoping you actually did hear us and your solution makes me want to double down and gift a platinum sub to a friend. On the other hand, i hope we are not about to get a protologist examine by doctor with both hands on our shoulders... we shall see

Hello team, As a long time suscriber, i think the platinum tier should not provide more than the vip for less money but the exact same for a lil higher price cause you can have the accès instantly. 5 month vip for 120$ or something, so make the platinum with instant access for 160 and give the vip a possibility to grab the exclusive model of the month for 10/15$. At this point, the only choice for a vip is to cancel and wait a year to subscribe 2 months and get all the stuff for cheaper than a continuous support. It s gonna burn the house guys, don’t let it happen! That said, enthusiast should be rewarded too, maybe give access to to diorama for an entire year..

Agree with the rest people on this. Platinum tier offers nothing to the long term subscribers. IT's more suitable for a hit and run member. Pay 80$ get all CA3D collection and leave. Long term subscribers already have all the CA3D models, so don't see any point on upgrading to platinum.

I joined the Platinum plan — it’s $74.50 per month in Australia, but on my birthday it went up. I’m not sure if I can support this for long.

This is giving me an ugly feeling. These are not price doubling extras. I sadly don’t have the budget for that anyway. I’m a pensioner. So a sub I felt good about now I feel like I’m missing out on stuff. You were the best value sub for printers. Now I can’t even afford to get all your stuff. Just an opinion tho.

Thank you for a quick and direct response. I know some people might want clarity from you but I appreciate that you are probably rethinking how to make the best of this situation, both for CA3D and its supporters. I definitely think there is space for a Platinum offering, but perhaps a more reasonable pricing structure would be useful here, and something that doesn't eclipse the VIP subscription to which many patrons have committed over the months and years. A Platinum tier that includes exclusive models for a reasonable price makes sense to me, but this should be decoupled from access to the back catalogue, which should stay linked as it is. I would be far more ready to upgrade to Platinum both for the extra models and to support you further, than if you offer a slow-burn perk as a two-month proposition that encourages us to gamify our memberships.

I’ve been a VIP member for many months, and I don’t mind supporting CA 3D Studios for all the work you guys do. I believe I should have had access to all the models for quite some time now. However, in the past, I received a Google Drive link containing the models, and everything was quite disorganized. If I join the Platinum program, will all the models be available through Gumroad links, or will it still be a mix of different platforms, with some models on Cults, some on Gumroad, and others on Google Drive? I’m asking because I really like to keep my collection organized, ideally all in one place, preferably on Gumroad, including all models, busts, NSFW versions, and so on.

Whether you oppose or support the new tier, any feedback can be seen as a form of support. However, why not look at it from another perspective? The truth is, CA3D's creations have always satisfied the collecting desires and dreams of many of us at a very low cost. But the creators at CA3D also need to make a living, and I believe they have many dreams of their own that rely on our support to come true. Previously, we only had to pay $20 a month to get what is now the largest and most exquisite selection of figures on the market. Honestly, who can compete with CA3D? For just a small monthly contribution from us, they deliver 10 beautiful figures—something truly rare in today's market. Frankly, it is incredibly impressive. Now, there might be various factors we aren't aware of that require them to create a new tier. Why not show them some support? Of course, support can be either verbal or through action; both are great. Besides, by paying $45, you get figures that others don't have, all backed by CA3D's guaranteed quality. Isn't that a good thing? Right!

i agree im not sure this is actually the right move i can see this going very bad.... :/

I really don't like the sounds of "strengthen the platinum experience". Feels like you're just going to make it so platinum is the only worthwhile tier.

Depending on what happens with the new Platinum subscription, and whether or not those of us who have been here for months/years get access to the new statues, I will decide if I stay subscribed. After 3 years of continuous support—about 8 months as VIP and the rest as Enthusiast—let's see what you come up with...

Shouldn't there be a stone in goliaths head? Who give more storytelling to the piece.

As a long vip member I don't believe this is a positive move. There's almost no incentive to actually upgrade to this and if you really needed $25 a month more from members the Platinum membership could instead be a Cults3d exclusive model and people could just choose to buy it if they wanted. I agree with everyone saying that just waiting a year and buy platinum for 1 month and getting all the models is a far better move than actually paying $45 a month and getting 1 extra model and some discord perks. The Platinum membership in no way benefits long time members and really only seems to benefit someone who wants to do a hit and run on the patreon and get access to everything for $90 instead of $120. I truly believe this new teir is entirely unnecessary as a long time member.

Keep up the great work. Thank you

I have been a gold memeber for a long time, I was concerned too see the platinum tier just because I've been here for a long time and there was no extra "benefits" beyond supporting the cool artists as I have everything. Is the extra model is cool id of bought it.

Pienso que los modelos o dioramas exclusivos del platinum deberian compartirse con los el TIER VIP, o al menos recibirlo aunque sea con un mes de retraso, pero quedarnos sin esa parte es lo que no veo del todo bien.

Financially I don’t see how this rewards existing vip members or the artists. It’s better to cancel and just pick up premium once a year to get everything a monthly member would get.

Those David and Goliath and Hercules models would be GREAT!

Those silhouettes look a bit “bizarre”

I am a bit worried this will end up as moving things from base and vip tier to platinum as a sort of content inflation, hurting long-term clients. I choose to believe though, and only want to voice this concern for now.

Awesome. I have been a member for years and I would feel bad missing out,
