Squid Stats: The Year in Review

Looking back at 2012, we can’t help but be optimistic about the future of the 3D industry. Artists continue to raise the bar when it comes to the quality and diversity of their models. Our staff has not only grown in size, but also smashed customer service industry standards while releasing some killer new site features.

We’ve set our sites high for 2013. Our plans to continue to improve the overall experience for ALL TurboSquid members is at the top of our list.

Stay tuned to our blog, the forums and our social channels as we announce new features and other improvements. Until then, check out our fancy infographic highlighting what made 2012 so special.

DMK76’s interview touches on his evolution from school ground sketcher to 3D artist, as well as his kind words for what TurboSquid’s marketplace has done for his career.
