Hi Matrixworks and all on this thread --- We are taking a new tack and are working now behind the scenes to integrate an e-store component into the site.  This effort will be completed and launched within approximately 60 days and will allow users to sell some of their uploads.  We're also working with Mental Images to integrate their Reality Server into our site ... this will allow 3D models to be displayed and manipulated --- zoom, rotate etc.  This should be in place within 30 days.  We feel that this will compliment the e-store giving particpants many ways to display their wares. (Video, manipulated 3D models, QuickTime VR, Visualizations etc.)

We do not currently plan to reinstitute pay for upload.

I hope this clears things up and gives you a peak into the future.  I'll be checking this thread but you can contact me directly at david.heller@sharecg.com if you have any comments, questions, or great ideas!

Have a great day, and enjoy the site!
