CNN Uses Missile Model as Part of a “Reality Check”
Tuesday, October 30th, 2012 by Adele TiblierWhile we steer clear of political views, we are always happy when any of our models are used to provide the perfect visual to inform and educate the masses. Such was the case on Monday, October 22, 2012, when a TurboSquid model was spotted during CNN’s “Reality Check”.
Check out the clip of the segment which showcases the 3D model of the Ballistic Missile model by artist Edgedesign (approximately 1:18 into the video).
Just in case you missed it or you’re looking for a more detailed view, we’ve included an image of the model below (which links to the product page).

| Featured Models for April by Jamie Hamel Smith and Vespa
We were wowed by Jamie Hamel Smith’s sleekly styled motorcycle model, then we thought, “what good is a bike without someone to ride it?”; so we paired a model of a biker created by artist Vespa to complete the visual. So for April we get the chance to talk up not one, but two Checkmate Pro models. The sleek speed bike by CG artist Jamie Hamel Smith seemed the perfect complement to Vespa’s rider. We can almost hear this bike screaming past us on the track. Click here to read more about these talented artists.

| When Metal and Models Collide in a Mega Music Publisher Promo
As a result of our own research (as conducted using a “not so scientific” poll of 3D artistson on Facebook), the many flavors of metal music are the jam of choice when making models. So it came as no surprise that the folks at Hammer Magazine used a slew of models when creating the promo video for this year’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. Watch the video then cast your vote for the band you feel has rocked the hardest this year.

Finding Balance, Building Bridges | March 2012

Finding The Balance Between Quality and Quantity
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Every industry struggles with the valuation of quality versus For nearly 12 years, TurboSquid has been building toward being the biggest, now reaching the point where we can bill ours as the largest marketplace for 3D models. While offering the lion’s share of models on the web is an attractive selling point, being the biggest isn’t always equated with quality. |
|
|
In our quest to be the best, we continue to initiate programs that are to the benefit of both customers and artists. Here’s a recap of a few of these initiatives:
So as we inch closer to our twelfth anniversary, we thank our longtime customers as well as newbies to the TurboSquid family. We’ll keep pushing toward greatness; provided that you keep coming back for more models. |
