Creating professional 3D models is a complicated process. Creating 3D content requires many years of experience. This article was created to help you find out how much 3d models cost and what is the approximate time to create a 3d model.
High Quality - A professional 3D model that is characterized by a very complicated shape that contains high quality details. High poly models contain a large amount of modeled details.
Depending on the type of file selected. Such models may include added lighting, camera, added rigged for 3D model, and simple or complicated animation of the 3d model. Models of this type can contain a high quality texture or even several very detailed textures, as well as many high quality materials, shaders, surface structures.
Creating such a 3d model is a complicated process that requires a predetermined process for creating a 3d model. Professional graphic designers with many years of experience - Senior 3D Graphic Designer are assigned to create a professional 3D model. Such advanced 3D models usually have from several hundred thousand to even several million polygons.
The cost of such a 3D model can range from $ 500-1000 USD to even several thousand USD for a photorealistic 3D model. The time of creating (modelling) such a 3d model can be about 50-150 hours, and even more hours depending on the number of ideals.

Medium Poly - This is a medium quality 3d model. Such a model is characterized by a medium complex body that contains fewer details. Medium Poly is a 3d model that has high modeling quality. This type of model is also professionally created.
Depending on the selected file, medium polygon models may include added lighting, camera, added rigged for 3D model, and simple or complicated animation of the 3d model. Models of this type can contain a high quality texture or even several very detailed textures, as well as many high quality materials, surface structures.
Creating a medium poly model is also a complicated process that requires a predetermined process to create a 3d model. Medium-advanced graphic designers are usually assigned to create a medium polygon 3D model - Junior 3D Graphic Designer, this type of model can also be done by senior 3d artists.
Such medium quality 3D models usually have tens of thousands of polygons. The cost of such a 3d model can be around $150-500 USD and more. The price will depend on the quality and quantity of details. The time of creating (modelling) such a 3d model can be about 15-50 hours or even more.

Low Poly - This is a simple quality 3d model. Such a model is characterized by a simple body that contains a small amount of details. This type of model is also made professionally, it requires some experience in modeling from a 3d graphic artist. The mesh of such a model must be optimized depending on what the low poly model will be used for, simple animations, visualizations - renderings, usually this type of models is used to create video games, simulators or in real-time applications, interactive applications, VR - virtual reality or AR - augmented reality.
Low plygon model files may also include added lighting, camera, added rigged for 3D model, and simple or complicated animation of the 3d model. These types of models can contain high quality diffuse, specular and normal texture maps, or even a few highly detailed textures.
As above, this type of low polygon model is also a complicated process that requires a predetermined process to create a 3d model. Beginner or intermediate graphic designers are usually assigned to create a low polygon 3D model - Junior 3D Graphic Designer, this type of model can also be done by senior 3d artists. When creating complex realistic textures, intermediate or older 3D artists will be required.
Such low polygon 3d models usually have from several thousand to tens of thousands of polygons. The cost of such a 3d model can be around $20-150 USD and more. The price will depend on the quality and quantity of details. The time of creating (modelling) such a 3d model can be about (1 hour very simple model) 2-6 hours or even more.
