How to sell .blend files on Proofly
Proofly accepts ZIP archives — the recommended approach for .blend source file sales. Package your Blender project with its export formats and upload the ZIP:
Recommended ZIP bundle structure
your_model.blendBlender source file — full project, materials, rigsyour_model.stl3D-printable export (for miniatures, figurines, parts)your_model.glbWeb/game preview — auto-loads in Proofly vieweryour_model.fbxFor Unity / Unreal Engine / rigged character importyour_model.objUniversal compatibility fallbackREADME.txtBlender version, texture paths, scale, usage notesThe viewer automatically loads the GLB or STL from your ZIP. Buyers preview your model in full 3D before purchasing — and receive every file format in the ZIP on download.
Multi-format bundles consistently sell at a 2–3× premium compared to single-format exports. A .blend + STL + GLB bundle priced at $25 routinely outsells a STL-only listing at $10 — buyers pay more when they get the full Blender source.
Why Blender artists sell on Proofly
0% commission — your price is your revenue
BlenderMarket takes 25% of every sale. CGTrader takes 30–35%. Gumroad takes 10%. Proofly takes nothing. Buyers pay a flat $1 fee per order. If your Blender rigged character sells for $40, you receive $40 (minus Stripe processing of ~$1.46) instead of losing $10 to BlenderMarket. On 100 sales that is $1,000 more in your pocket vs BlenderMarket alone.
In-browser 3D viewer — buyers inspect before buying
When your ZIP includes a GLB or STL file, Proofly's viewer loads it automatically. Buyers orbit, pan, zoom, switch between solid / wireframe / clay / x-ray modes, check dimensions in mm/cm/in, and verify manifold status — all before purchasing. This is a major advantage over static screenshots: buyers who preview in 3D convert at significantly higher rates and request fewer refunds.
HiddenMark watermarking — trace every leaked file
Blender file piracy is common on Discord servers and torrent sites. Proofly embeds an invisible HiddenMark code into the mesh geometry of the STL, GLB, or OBJ files in your ZIP — unique per buyer. If your model appears where it shouldn't, upload it to the verifier to identify the exact purchase it came from. DMCA certificate included for instant takedown filing.
Sell .blend + STL + GLB in one bundle
Include your Blender source file alongside 3D printable STL and game-ready GLB in a single ZIP. Buyers purchase everything in one transaction — the Blender project file, the print-ready model, and the web-optimized export. Multi-format character packs consistently sell at $50–$120, vs $15–$25 for STL-only listings.
AI listing generation — publish in minutes, not hours
Click "Generate description" and Claude AI writes your listing title, description, and tags based on your file name and category. Your listing is automatically translated into 20 languages — Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, Portuguese — so buyers worldwide find your Blender assets. Listing a complex Blender scene or rigged character takes under 5 minutes.

What Blender asset categories sell best
Blender's versatility means buyers search for a wide range of assets. The highest-demand categories for .blend source file bundles are:
Proofly vs BlenderMarket and Gumroad for .blend files
BlenderMarket: 25% commission + Blender-only reach
BlenderMarket takes 25% of every sale and is primarily visited by Blender users. Proofly is open to all 3D buyers — 3D printers, game developers, Blender artists, and visualization pros. On a $40 .blend character pack, BlenderMarket takes $10; Proofly takes $0. You can sell on both simultaneously — Proofly has no exclusivity requirements.
Gumroad: 10% commission + no 3D viewer
Gumroad charges 10% (plus Stripe fees) and shows only static images for 3D model listings. Buyers cannot preview your Blender model in 3D before purchasing — they see screenshots only. Proofly's in-browser 3D viewer is a significant differentiator: buyers who interact with the model in 3D before purchasing convert at higher rates and request fewer refunds.
CGTrader: 30–35% + no piracy tracing
CGTrader charges 30–35% and offers no per-buyer watermarking. If your Blender model is redistributed after purchase, you have no way to identify who shared it. Proofly's HiddenMark system embeds a unique code per buyer into the mesh geometry — so if your file leaks, you can identify the source and file a DMCA takedown immediately.
Frequently asked questions
What percentage do I keep when I sell blend files on Proofly?
You keep 100% of your listed price. Proofly charges 0% commission. Buyers pay a flat $1 USD platform fee per order — this covers payment processing and infrastructure. Compare this to BlenderMarket at 25%, Gumroad at 10% + $0.30, CGTrader at 30–35%, Sketchfab at 30%, or TurboSquid at 20–40%. On a $30 .blend source file, you receive $30 instead of losing $7.50–$10.50 to platform commission.
How do I sell .blend files on Proofly if ZIP is required?
Package your .blend file in a ZIP archive — add it alongside export formats your buyers will need: STL (for 3D printing), GLB (for web, Godot, Three.js), FBX (for Unity/Unreal), or OBJ (for broad compatibility). Upload the ZIP to Proofly. Your in-browser 3D viewer automatically loads the best previewable format from the ZIP. Buyers get the .blend source file plus ready-to-use exports in a single purchase.
How are my .blend files protected from piracy?
Every purchase is automatically protected by HiddenMark — an invisible watermark embedded in the mesh geometry of the STL, GLB, or OBJ files in your ZIP. Each buyer receives a uniquely coded copy tied to their purchase. If your Blender model appears on a sharing site, Discord server, or piracy forum, upload it to proofly.store/hiddenmark to instantly identify which specific purchase was leaked. A DMCA-ready certificate with proof of authorship is generated immediately.
Can buyers preview my Blender model before purchasing?
Yes. When you upload a ZIP containing GLB or STL files alongside your .blend, the Proofly 3D viewer automatically loads and renders the best previewable format. Buyers can orbit, pan, zoom, switch display modes (solid/wireframe/clay/x-ray), check dimensions, and verify manifold/watertight status — all in their browser before purchasing. This increases conversion: buyers who can inspect a model in 3D convert at significantly higher rates than those who only see static screenshots.
What types of .blend files sell best?
The strongest categories for Blender source file sales include: 3D printable miniatures and figurines (bundle .blend + STL), game-ready low-poly environments (bundle .blend + GLB), rigged characters with armatures (bundle .blend + FBX for Unity/Unreal), architectural visualization scenes, Geometry Nodes procedural assets and libraries, physics simulation scenes, stylized props and furniture for renders, and PBR-textured photorealistic assets. Bundles that include the .blend source alongside export formats typically sell at 2–3× the price of export-only listings.
Do I need to be exclusive to sell blend files on Proofly?
There is no exclusivity requirement on Proofly. You can sell the same .blend file on BlenderMarket, Gumroad, CGTrader, itch.io, and Proofly simultaneously. Many Blender artists use Proofly as a zero-commission channel alongside BlenderMarket, effectively earning 100% on Proofly sales vs 75% on BlenderMarket. Or they set Proofly as their primary storefront and link it from their Blender social media profiles.
How do I get paid when I sell .blend files on Proofly?
Connect your Stripe account during onboarding — takes about 5 minutes. When a buyer purchases your ZIP bundle, Stripe transfers the sale amount directly to your Stripe account. Configure automatic weekly or monthly payouts to your bank account or debit card. Proofly never holds your money — earnings flow directly from buyer to your Stripe account via Stripe Connect. View your sales, revenue by listing, and buyer geography in Dashboard → Analytics.
Can I sell Blender add-ons and scripts on Proofly?
Proofly is optimized for 3D model assets — STL, GLB, OBJ, FBX, and .blend files — rather than Python scripts and add-ons. For Blender Python add-ons (.py scripts), BlenderMarket or Gumroad are better fits. For Blender 3D model assets, scenes, procedural Geometry Nodes assets, and rigged characters, Proofly's 0% commission and 3D viewer are a strong advantage.
