-1$ because I bought a blender plugin since it wasn't on CGP
I treat it as wasted money because it got uploaded 2 days after my purchase

Where do you sell your stuff?

There really isn't a reason to sell models when people know they can steal it. Many games on steam are from stolen 3D models. Steam refuse to fix anything about stolen models, artwork and music so people keep stealing because Valve is too lazy to do anything even under the law. Not going to sell my models, they can look at pictures and tell me if they want to commission me.

I understand your frustration but the proof is in the pudding and I wasn't making any money at all from 3d stuff before I started listing my models for sale.

Probably he is an industry professional, or has his own company 100k with cg a year is not black magic its hard work and good marketing. Its enought to have a good life in any country but not even close to becoming rich.

valve is not a law enforcement agency. You need to sue the developers. Not beseech community admins to ban people who make you mad.

Under DMCA laws if a company refuse to obey the request, they will no longer be protected from liability under the safe harbor doctrine. I am just collecting enough information to sent it to a lawyer and have Valve sued for real under federal crimes. This is Valve fault not the users or scammers, Valve clearly is not following the law just like every other law.

A few grand, probably around $2k-3k, but I don't keep track.
I mostly do animations and vids for musicians and the like (and sell merch on the side). It's not a ton of cash, hardly livable, but I guess that's mostly because I undersell a lot.
Musicians are broke already and fickle enough that any mention of "actual" pay scares them off to someone else who will work for pennies but is obviously bad at what they do, and they won't care because they don't have an eye for things they won't notice if the animation they commissioned is trash.
So I mainly deal with small values ($60 for album art, $150-$250 for animations depending on length/complexity) but do a lot of them. Mostly through Instagram. I get a lot of repeat clients, so they're more than happy to pay a little extra since I go the extra mile to make them, and myself, happy with the end result. No use having my name associated with it if it's shit, ya know?

I'd like to break into other avenues, but I'm not really sure how.

How the fuck do you even spend all that money? I make less than half of that (engineer in the medical device industry), I'm married with kids, 35 old and and the only way I could waste my money is going to Vegas and blowing everything up on hookers and coke.
