Private models. Application form 😁 type Flopper's

Sounds like you need and apprentice to help you out with the work load. You should train someone as compensation for helping you complete projects. The only problem with that is when they become good enough to bail out on you, but by then you maybe could just hire them.

I don't have enough money right now, but maybe you can think about some fundraising for porn Star? Everyone can give you a tip for that and when you will have enough money you can show IT for as. My first thing is bbw carmella bing, she is a Queen of bbw but made only few video's in this shape and we can start again her bbw "carrier" in virt :) please think about it

Very true

makes sense people like celebrities especially ones that haven't been done before that are of such high quality.

Yeah I think its a good thing, it a way of supporters showing support for each other as well as me. We are all one big perv family over here. 😁 Gianna has absolutely smashed it for me, I gained a months worth of new people in 6 hours, that's how much people crave Gianna's boobies....Gemma boobies I knew I liked her, turns out 90% of people have been obsessing over her for years as well

Reddit is lethal. It still is VERY toxic. Its a bit like youtube where the comments section is no holds barred for some people and the easy going people dare not comment or face getting shot down by the reddit warriors. Some right dickheads on there yet my biggest place of discovery is reddit. Patreon shows you how many ppl come from what link, reddit is my biggest, yet I get nothing but insta-downvote. Except Gianna I mean Gemma lol. I posted her and the usual suspects were...downvote downvote downvote. Then all the other's got wind and she smashed it. Good old Gianna I mean Gemma.

I think you came out at the right time. The early VAM community was pretty toxic (at least on Reddit). I know a few creators who quit because of the baseless criticism they encountered.

Ricky

Well that’s nice to know would like all custom works eventually appear for public after some time unless the customer said private nothing of your work should be kept secret !

GoodBoy2030

That's great. It looks like this discussion has helped clear things up

Ricky

Best model i saw in years so fa,r even in desktop mode.... Don't worry m8, we know ^^ ;) for some

VirtaPimp

I don't really as I didn't use any myself. I learned just by doing it. Ive been around since the beginning of vam just making stuff and keeping it all to myself (my bad didn't realise ppl would want my work) but Ive just kept playing and improving over a period of years. The more you tweak the more you learn.

Don't worry dude, I'm not about to abandon 600 people for sake of 17 people if you get my drift. Ill split my time between projects, I already have been doing this since the beginning. Sp0och model was made public so you are all aware of it but I've been building custom work for people in the background this whole time and I haven't let you guys down yet. Just think about my custom skin projects. They take weeks of work and I still give you guys stuff during. Custom characters only take about 5 days max as I build them onto existing skins I've made. Nothing is going to change, you guys will get the same amount of content as Ive always produced but now you'll get some RL people also. Its all a plus for you 👍

Spline, you do good quality with textures, animations, and model matching. I just hope the requests don't bog you down to the point that you can't frequently contribute to your patreon folk. We're out here hungry for a lot, and there's only one of you. It's great that the private requests are coming to us as well, so we can share in where the passion is going, but will that last?

Elom

I'm not "telling Spline how to run his Patreon," I'm just making a suggestion. He obviously deserves to make more than minimum wage on custom model work. Models should cost more if they're going to be kept private.

Ricky

@William Wilson: Good on you being a patron of arts. As long as custom models are released to the general membership eventually, £150 is a fair price point. If somebody wants to keep one of Spline's custom models private, they should pay a lot more. 1-month standard release delay seems reasonable and agreeable to most.

Ricky

lol so you feel like your "general membership" entitles you to tell Spline how to run his Patreon? You feel as if your $5 pledge is worth more of his time than my $175 commission? You are clearly only here to get the most out of the least amount of money. Knowing people like you get Sp0och's model for free is why people choose to keep them private, ungrateful.

William Wilson

What about an even more expensive tier for like VIP members that get access to the customs? I would pay extra!

Futa Fan 2019

How is it "selfish" to advocate for more general-membership content? If that's selfish, then what do you call paying a £150 commission for a custom model and then insisting it stays *private?* I just think Spline should charge more because he is a skilled designer who deserves to be paid *whatever the market will bear* for the cost of his labor. That's capitalism.

Ricky

God I love big flopper's

I know your busy! So do you have a guide for making our own models like the Gianna! That was awesome!

Dee Smith

its completely up to the customer and honestly I don't think ppl really thought about it before, Sp0och started it and everyone now thinks its a good idea. Plus you are like me, we like Niche haha

s p l i n e VR

I've had a custom model done but I was under the impression that it was not to be shared to protect Spline's work, which I have of course honoured so far. I don't have a problem whatsoever with Spline himself sharing it with other Patrons if he so wishes (even though it might be very different/not everyone's cup of tea).

Doodluv

I have had 4 or 5 commissions and they always go straight to the other patrons so the creator can profit off of the work. I bet Ginna made Spline more money from sharing her for an extra 5 on top of the 150 lots of people joined just for her.

William Wilson

That could be a good idea, I think most guys now will want everyone to have their requests excluding the ones of personal people obviously

s p l i n e VR

That's awesome. I think this shows that most custom model customers would be amenable to a policy change. How about changing the standard policy to make all private customs available to general members after 1 month?

Ricky

(((((flopper's))))) 👍🏻

The last couple of requests I've received these guys actually like spooch's idea and have offered to realese their model to everyone. I've got some good guys in here

s p l i n e VR

You want us to pay 2 or 3 times the rate so he can pump our more for the $5 pledge? Sounds very selfish imo

William Wilson

Also... (((((floppers)))))

alcololVR

What Ricky said. Maybe also offer upgrades to VAM 2.0 when it releases for a smaller fee?

alcololVR

I have mixed feelings about this offering. On the one hand, it's a way for you to exercise your skill. And occasionally there is a magnate like Sp0och who will donate his private commission to general members. On the other hand, it seems that most commissioners keep their models private. And it sounds like the rate you are charging doesn't fully compensate you for your time. I think the first thing you should do is increase your fee for developing custom models, which is justified by high demand, and it will help you regulate demand. Double the rate! £300 GB is a perfectly fair rate for 30-50 hours of skilled design work (frankly it's still too cheap). The next thing I think you should consider is changing your privacy policy for commissioned work. You could change the standard policy to keep models private for one month, after which they would become available to general members. Or you could charge higher rates for models that your customers want to keep private (say £500). I am with the general membership, so I'd be happy if you did away with offering private custom models entirely. Clearly they take up a lot of your time, and unless the customer allows public release, it's adding no value to Spline VR. It's up to you, but I think you'd improve your business by changing your rate and policy.
