3DVIP is free to use and always will be. Advertising is what pays for hosting, bandwidth, and the time spent keeping the library organised.
What we run
The site carries display advertising from third-party networks, placed within the model grid and alongside content. We aim to keep it out of the way: no pop-ups that block the page, no auto-playing sound, no interstitials between you and a download.
Who our visitors are
People who use 3ds Max daily — interior designers, architectural visualisation artists, architecture students, and freelance 3D modellers. They buy plugins, renderers, workstations, GPUs, texture libraries, and training.
If your product sits in that world, the audience here is already looking for it. If it does not, this is not the right place for your budget.
Advertise directly
We accept direct placements as an alternative to network advertising. Direct advertisers get a fixed position, no competing ads in the same slot, and a straightforward monthly arrangement.
Write to contact@3dvip.org with:
- What you are promoting, and a link to it
- The placement you have in mind — header, in-grid, sidebar, or model page
- How long you want to run
We will reply with current traffic figures and pricing. We do not publish a rate card because rates depend on placement and duration.
What we will not run
We turn down advertising for:
- Gambling, betting, and casino sites
- Adult content
- Cracked, pirated, or licence-bypassing software — including cracked copies of the very software this site’s audience uses
- Cryptocurrency schemes, trading signals, and financial products promising returns
- Malware, fake download buttons, and anything designed to be mistaken for our own interface
- Deceptive claims of any kind
The fourth point is not negotiable, whatever the offer. This site depends on people trusting what they click.
Editorial independence
Paying for advertising does not buy a listing, a review, a category placement, or removal of a competitor. Advertising and library content are kept separate, and we do not accept payment to publish a model as if it were an ordinary entry.
Your data
Advertising networks may set cookies and use them to show ads based on your browsing. What is collected, and how to opt out of personalised advertising, is set out on the Privacy Policy page.
A note on responsibility
Advertisements come from third parties. Their presence here is not an endorsement, we do not control what they link to, and any dealing between you and an advertiser is between you and them. If an advertisement on this site behaves badly — misleading claims, fake download buttons, malware — tell us at contact@3dvip.org and we will pull it.
