3D models are commonplace tools in most industries that deal in digital, but how useful can 3D be when screens are removed from the mix entirely? We recently became aware of a very singular use case for TurboSquid’s 3D catalog: tattoos. We sat down with Javier Antunez, owner and popular realist artist at Tattooed Theory to hear more about his …
StemCell, TurboSquid’s 3D model standardization solution, just received a huge update! This week we added support for OBJ and FBX (metallic and specular configurations included), two of the most popular exchange formats. Now, in combination with our gITF support announcement earlier this summer, each new StemCell model will have FBX, OBJ, and gITF formats included. Each of these exchange formats …

We’ve very excited to announce that we’re adding glTF to our growing list of StemCell supported formats, making 3D even more accessible to users around the globe.We plan to convert the entire existing StemCell library (which currently encompasses several thousand models) into glTF 2.0 content. All new StemCell models will automatically flow into glTF as part of our automation process. …
For this week’s artist guest post, we wanted to share a tutorial highlighting basic shapes with well-done textures.

While the models are simple in shape, the quality of the textures are the true meat and potatoes of this …
We’ve watched as 3D modeling has become more and more realistic, but we’ve also really enjoyed the trend of beautifully crafted low-poly styled models. Some artists even specialize in this style, like TurboSquid artist Vitaliy Provkin, or Vilitay.
