Instructions for scrap kit designers

PLEASE read the instructions carefully,

everything written is intended to protect against errors and to help load your work quickly and without the need for corrections in the future.

1. The sales file is uploaded as a ZIP archive with previews and folders containing items.

2. Previews in the archive will be shown in the catalog in alphabetical order, please keep this in mind when naming the previews in a certain way.

The main preview must be strictly 550 by 550 pixels, other previews can be any size, but at least 550 pixels on the larger side.

All files and the archive must not contain SPACES in the name, only underscores are allowed, otherwise the archive will not be loaded and will generate an error.

3. Links to personal websites, blogs, other stores, etc. NOT ALLOWED anywhere on layers or archive!

4. It is forbidden to use the image of pictures of other authors to demonstrate that they fit the downloaded kit or for other reasons. This compliance can be demonstrated by completing the Associated TUBES/KITS field after the archive has been uploaded.

5. With ONE double click on the archive, a view of the preview and folders should open. If this click shows a folder that needs to be clicked again, the archive will not be loaded.

6. The archive is uploaded to My uploads - Images, after which you need to click on EDIT and fill in the fields.

It is important to select the desired category from the drop-down list (KITS or RESALE PRODUCTS - see below) in order to get the work into the desired catalog. *START - a category for beginner artists with lower quality requirements.

RESALE PRODUCTS - for works purchased under a commercial license and resold in full or in the same form with some modifications, these can be both scrap kits and tubes.

7. After clicking Add to catalogue, the work appears in the catalog within 5-10 minutes.8. We have a limit on the number of works that can be uploaded per day - 3 works maximum.

Some statistics

• In 5 out of 10 cases where there are complaints from new artists and designers about the fact that the archive does not load, the problem is an extra folder in the archive.

• The remaining 5 cases are spaces in the names of files or archives, as well as the wrong size of the main preview (anything other than 550 by 550).

Instruction for artists and POSER-designers

be called Ribbon, Bracelet1, Bracelet2, etc.
