Today, 3D models are used in a wide variety of industries. The movie industry uses them as characters and objects for animated and real-life motion pictures. The video game industry uses them as assets for computers and video games. The architecture industry uses them to demonstrate proposed buildings and landscapes through Architectural Rendering Software. Even the medical industry uses detailed models of organs for study and experimentation purposes.
We understand how useful 3D models could be. Thus, we’ve crawled into the Internet and search for free 3D models and textures that are available for download. Here are as many as 30 websites to download Free 3D Models. Full list after the jump!
