AI Generated 3D Models Flood Market, But Almost No One Is Buying Them
CGTrader reports AI-generated 3D models are one in six uploads but earn only $1 of every $90 in marketplace revenue.
CGTrader's 2026 market trends report, based on data from June 2025 to May 2026, found that one in six models uploaded to its marketplace is AI-generated while AI assets capture only about 1% of revenue ($1 of every $90). Buyers ranked quality above price as their top purchase factor, and most AI asset purchasers reported dissatisfaction. CGTrader, which partners with Tencent on an AI-accelerated 3D creation workflow, says rising AI upload volume is creating discoverability challenges for human artists.
