Who CGAxis is designed for — and where it falls short
CGAxis has built a strong reputation in the architectural visualisation community for consistent quality: realistic furniture collections with proper UV maps, accurate scale, and well-organised topology that renders predictably in V-Ray, Corona, and Blender Cycles.
The subscription model suits large studios working on multiple projects simultaneously, where the cost per asset across hundreds of downloads justifies the monthly fee. For individual freelancers, small teams, or studios with seasonal workloads, the fixed $99–199/month creates cost whether or not assets are actively being used.
Proofly as a CGAxis alternative for freelancers
Proofly's per-model pricing eliminates the subscription overhead. For a freelancer working on two or three arch-viz projects per year, the total spend on Proofly for the specific assets each project needs is typically 5–10% of a CGAxis annual subscription.
Every Proofly listing with a 3D format (GLB, OBJ, STL, FBX) shows in the in-browser 3D viewer — orbit and zoom the actual mesh, check topology, verify bounding box dimensions, and switch to wireframe mode — before committing to a purchase. No reliance on static renders that may not represent real mesh quality.
Selling arch-viz models on Proofly
CGAxis operates as a closed content library — external creators cannot submit assets. Proofly is fully open: upload your furniture collections, plant sets, or architectural detail packs in GLB or ZIP format, set your price, and keep 100% of every sale. Buyers pay a small flat platform fee. Proofly's HiddenMark watermarking system encodes a unique buyer fingerprint into each downloaded mesh — if a paid asset is leaked or redistributed, the source is traceable via the public verification tool at proofly.store/hiddenmark.
Frequently asked questions
How much does CGAxis cost?
CGAxis offers subscription plans typically ranging from $99 to $199 per month depending on the tier (as of 2026). Annual plans provide a discount. If you cancel, you retain access to assets downloaded during your active subscription under their licence terms, but cannot download new assets. Proofly sells individual 3D models at prices set by independent creators — there is no subscription, and every purchase includes a permanent commercial licence.
What types of 3D models does CGAxis specialize in?
CGAxis focuses on architectural visualisation assets: furniture collections, interior props, plants and trees, lighting fixtures, kitchenware, bathroom fittings, and outdoor furniture. Models are typically available in OBJ, FBX, 3ds Max format, and sometimes GLB. Proofly covers the same categories through independent creators, plus characters, vehicles, sci-fi props, and print-ready models — in GLB (with PBR textures embedded), OBJ, FBX, and STL format.
Is CGAxis worth it for freelance arch-viz work?
CGAxis is most cost-effective for studios with continuous, high-volume asset needs. For freelancers on project-based work, paying $99–199/month between projects adds significant overhead. Proofly's per-model purchasing lets you buy exactly the furniture or plant asset a specific project needs — typically $5–30 per model — without ongoing fees in months when no new assets are required.
Can I sell arch-viz 3D models on Proofly?
Yes. Proofly is an open marketplace. Upload furniture, interior props, plant collections, and architectural assets in GLB, OBJ, FBX, or ZIP format. Set your own price. You keep 100% of your listed price — buyers pay a small flat platform fee. There is no exclusivity requirement. Proofly's HiddenMark embeds a unique per-buyer watermark in every downloaded mesh to trace redistribution.
What formats does Proofly use for arch-viz assets?
Proofly supports GLB (GLTF with embedded PBR textures — the preferred format for Blender, Unity, and web use), OBJ with MTL companion files, FBX, STL, 3MF, and ZIP bundles. For Blender arch-viz workflows, GLB is particularly convenient: albedo, normal map, roughness, and metalness are embedded in a single file that imports with full materials instantly.
Does Proofly have a 3D viewer to preview models before purchase?
Yes. Every Proofly listing with a supported 3D format (GLB, OBJ, STL, FBX) shows a full in-browser 3D viewer — orbit, zoom, pan, wireframe overlay, and display mode switching. You can inspect polygon count, bounding box dimensions, and material quality before buying. CGAxis shows static renders; Proofly lets you examine the actual mesh from any angle.
