TurboSquid 3D BlogArchive for the ‘Sightings’ CategorySpringtime at TurboSquidMonday, February 27th, 2012 by Michele Bousquet Rose by ms_dessi You know springtime is on its way when roses start appearing in all forms. This time it was as a printed 3D model at the SolidWorks World conference, where 3D printer provider Objet showcased a rose model by TurboSquid artist ms_dessi. The final result, shown in Objet’s booth at the conference, was nothing short of stunning. The materials and process used to print the roses are detailed in a recent Objet blog post.

A blog post by Future Media Concepts of Orlando provides a detailed account of how 3D animator Jean Marco Ruesta not only brought four TurboSquid models to life, but also how he pushed them outside the YouTube player’s boundaries to swim onto visitors’ screens.
The lifelike aquatic life starring in these online promotions included:  Animated Shark Model by NONECG  Freshwater Sawfish 3D Model by 3d_Wanderer  Lizard 3 Salamander by shiva3d  Moray Eel Model by Ryan Kittleson
… Ruesta, who also teaches Maxon’s Cinema 4D at the New York School of the Arts, created the finished product using Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects. Check out his work on River Monster’s YouTube Page as well as Shark Week on YouTube. Once you’ve seen it in action, be sure to see the full blog post “How They Did It: Bringing Creatures to Life in Discovery Networks’ Online Promos” for all the details on how he made it happen.

TurboSquid on Jeopardy!Wednesday, January 4th, 2012 by Michele BousquetTurboSquid on Big LoveFriday, June 24th, 2011 by Michele BousquetThe acclaimed HBO series Big Love aired its series finale in March 2011. As the series’ characters discuss their futures in the main house’s living room at the end of the episode, the camera backs out a window to gradually show the house’s exterior amid fall trees and parked cars. Production studio Encore Hollywood created this final scene with the help of several TurboSquid models.
Bad, Bad Unicorn!Saturday, May 21st, 2011 by Michele BousquetHere at TurboSquid, we were tickled to learn that one of our models is featured in the viral video Mr. Toots. A cute yet evil unicorn wreaks havoc in this hilarious video from the Freddie Wong channel. The skeleton that appears around 0:55 is a TurboSquid model. In this companion video, the Freddie Wong team talks about how they got the unicorn model, and around the 4:45 mark their 3ds Max artist mentions TurboSquid by name. These videos are rated DUB for Disturbing Unicorn Behavior. If you are offended by ill-mannered unicorns, we strongly advise you not to watch either of these videos.
