TurboSquid

TurboSquid is a digital media and animation studio based in the United States that sells stock 3D models for use in 3D graphics to a variety of industries such as computer games, architecture, and interactive training. TurboSquid is a 3D model download site where you can find both free and premium content. It's a professional model site with extensive features. The company, headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, is best known for brokering the sale of 3D models in exchange for a percentage of the proceeds. TurboSquid has over 800,000 3D models in its library as of 2019. Turbosquid also offers over 130,000 other products, including texture maps.

Matt Wisdom and Andy Wisdom founded TurboSquid after working together at Chimera Digital Imaging, a company that produced 3D animation for television commercials from 1994 to 2000. During that time, the pair started looking into ways to sell or license unused 3D models. Under the brand iPublish, they officially began software development of a marketplace in 1999.

TurboSquid launched the CheckMate Certification program in August 2011, in which models are checked against a unified 3D modeling standard developed by TurboSquid and passing models are marked as certified in their catalog. By December 2011, more than 2500 TurboSquid models had been CheckMate certified, with over 100 artists taking part. TurboSquid's quality control, dubbed "CheckMate", is a unique feature that consists of objective requirements to evaluate the quality of the 3D model (scale, clean UVs, texture resolution specified) and ensure buyers get what they pay for. Fortunately, there is a large free section with high-quality files to choose from.
