CheckMate Advisory Board Meets to Define 3D Modeling Standards

TurboSquid is excited to have top VFX Professionals from such established companies as Weta Digital, CNN, and Electronic Arts as part of the CheckMate Advisory Board. This group of CG heavy hitters recently came together to discuss how to continue to evolve the only industry standard for 3D models.

June’s Featured Model

One might say that selecting this month’s featured model was influenced by our subconscious. Could it be the sense of calm that the serene setting gives us or the overall relaxed tone that surrounds this elegant model?

Whatever the reason, the detailed construction of this upscale leather swivel chair model by artist Tora2097 is worth a closer look. We took a few minutes to get to know Tora2097, the talented artist with a flair for archviz accents.
