Commercial Grade 3D Stock Models for your Animation and Visualization Projects
Put the effort where it’s needed
You will have encountered this frequently. A client asks you to create a visualization, a walk-through animation of say, an architectural project for a promotional spot or a building board. They have provided you with the raw 3D CAD model of the structure and have have set it up and lit everything perfectly. But now you need to add environmental elements like trees, cars, people, auxiliary buildings,etc. Although it would be great to model these from scratch to hone your modeling skills, it just plain impractical and very expensive for your client to do so and you might even lose out on the job while trying to do that.
In such cases carefully selecting some high quality models for foreground elements and some lesser detailed (and lower priced) models for background and ‚fill’ will both greatly enhance your presentations as well as save your client money that would have othwerwise have to be spent on specially modeling these items in your clients time.
And, obviously, it also saves you time that you can much better spend on the project at hand, while at the same time, building your own library of stock to choose from on any future project.
