Building a SquidGuild Bridge

In recent months, artists have been clamoring to get into the SquidGuild. With many of them bound by outside agreements, it seemed they may never have the chance, until now.

TurboSquid is excited to announce the SquidGuild Bridge, allowing previously ineligible artists the ability to have their models showcased on TurboSquid.com, as well as submitted for consideration to become CheckMate certified.

SquidGuild Bridge was designed to give these artists a gateway to becoming full-fledged members of the SquidGuild, while also expanding the variety and size of the CheckMate models catalog.We invite existing SquidGuild members to share their thoughts on this new program, as well as the program details with those artists you believe would be interested in participating.

TurboSquid Script Contest - Megaphone model by RenderStuff

As our CheckMate Tools Contest nears the deadline for submissions, remember this – winning isn’t just about snagging a hefty cash prize, it’s also about bragging rights. Money is great, but being heralded as the top scripter in the land (at least by us) certainly ups the ante.

So tighten up your script and get it in by March 31st. The scripts-in-progress that we’ve gotten a sneak peak of have been very impressive, therefore we suggest bringing your “A” game to this competition.

Haven’t started scripting yet? That’s ok, there’s still time to get one ready. Click here for the full list of script features, contest details, and prizes.
