Hi,
What’s happening with 3DOcean. No new items since September 27th. The forum section for 3DOcean isn’t there! Items aren’t being reviewed. There’s no longer a dedicated page to 3docean in the average review time page. https://author.envato.com/market_review_times
Probably because there are no more sales… and Elements now is the priority but how will Elements function if the stock markets are dead?
The uploads to 3Docean are kind of constant. I have an item under review that’s been sitting there for 4 days (review usually takes 24 hours on a work day).
The newest item was added at the end of last week (September 27th), with nothing at all afterwards.
Personally, I am expecting to see a brutal move to Elements I mean the marketplaces will kinda be closed or some wired scenario but it is clear the focus is on Elements and I believe the marketplaces will be closed soon and the authors force to join Elements or good by…
I think that’s what’s happening. Pond5 did discontinue 3d submissions as of last May, after being acquired by shutterstock:
It’s just that there’s currently no counterpart on Elements to the 3D content (except for the turbosquid stream). So what happens now to my 11 year 3d library?
Who knows, even if they were added to Elements your income will be pretty much nothing because there are too many items in Elements.
The subscription model is a recipe for disaster no matter how they make it,m it is a gold mine for the owner but for the authors, it just not work…
Man, i’ve made a search at 3docean , and sincerly its seems like only you are making sale there this year 
4344 3d files were added this year and only 30 of them have more then 1 sales (4200 files without any sale) 
What an awful statistic…
The uploads to 3docean are consistently high. One user has 1000+ items submitted this year alone. It’s the main reason I’m pointing out the lack of new uploads for 7 days.
I believe its over I don’t know what was the purpose of the Envato purchse why pay 300mil $ just to kill the marketplace, maybe somone can explain to me because I don’t get it, we will find out eventulauy the hard way as always…
Only Envato’s former CEO can answer this question for you
Hi @Abdelrahman_El-masry. The Market Review Times page is linked to the tools used for most of our review teams, but has a few systems that don’t connect to it - for example, Elements Graphics reviewers use something entirely separate, and so those items don’t appear on that dashboard.
There are some changes happening to how we store, review and publish 3D uploads at the moment, as 3D content is being added to our new content systems. There are a lot of items to move across, and a lot of authors - so we’ll be moving things across gradually. There are already some Photos authors using a new upload and item management tools, with more Photo and some 3D authors being added in the next batch.
I’ll check with our Content Operations team, but I suspect the review time estimate is currently unavailable while the underlying systems are being moved.
