Hello everybody !
Well, you may wonder why I made this post. In fact, I just came to the conclusion that everybody's not a great artist. Of course, you can learn, but you'd like to continue your work the while you're learning.
Turboquid (
www.turbosquid.com) is, from my point of view, the best site to find excellent 3D models. Even if you don't have a lot of money, you can still access a great number of good quality models.
However, as your game's building, you realize at some point, that some of the models can't be found there for free. Its not criticism, just an observation. I understand artists want something back for their hard work.
As a result, I'd like everybody here (willing) to update a list of other good websites in which one can find good quality 3D models.
For instance, I "googled" a bit (or "bing-ed" if you like) and found some sites, however, it's not always easy to seperate good sites from others. Thus, I think it could save a bunch of time to lots of people.
Lists (updated after discussion on the thread):
Good :
*
www.turbosquid.com (
very good to me,
check the license)
*
www.sharecg.com (
very good,
"Unrestricted use" button on the search tool)
*
sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse (
from very poor to very good, need Google Sketchup to export to .X files, check the license)
*
http://archive3d.net/ (
quite good models from what I saw, the license is nice also,
see my post below to check this license)
Not good :
* www.modelfree.com (not as good as I first thought,
very hard to find out whether a model can be used for commercial use, and sometimes impossible : when there's doubts, avoiding's better because it's your own risk)
