Independent 3D designer (EU)
An independent 3D designer plugged into the IRL Meshworks pipeline as a contributing creator, with royalty rails instead of one-off commissions.
- SKUs contributed
- 41
- Brand collaborations
- 3
- Effective royalty rate
- 65%
Challenge
- The designer was selling assets on a marketplace that took 50%+ on every sale and offered no per-server licensing model.
- They had brand-quality work but no path to a brand license themselves.
Approach
- The designer became a contributing creator inside the IRL Meshworks catalog, with revenue share on every server install of their SKUs.
- Three brand collaborations were brokered through IRL Meshworks where the brand would never have hired the designer directly.
Outcome
- Within two quarters the designer's IRL Meshworks revenue exceeded their prior marketplace earnings.
- Three brand collaborations active, with one converting to a recurring relationship.
"The marketplace was a treadmill. This is the first time I've had compounding income from a single asset."
