The 3D Models nominated for the April Top 10 - part 1

2011-04-10T07:59:00.000-07:00

A lot of very good models were published in the first week of this month!

Seems like a lot will not make it to the Top 10 due to the sheer number of great assets.
That's why I decided to start announcing periodically the models which got my attention and will be evaluated at the end of the month.

The nominees will be presented in random order with only a thumbnail, but will get the attention they deserve even if they don't make it to the Top 10.
There will be no restrictions for the number of models per author in this list, but in the end of the month, only one will be chosen.

Here is the first pack of nominated models:

$99.00

$90.00

$117.00

$79.00

$40.00

$149.00

$150.00

$90.00

$150.00

$95.00

$99.00

$169.00

$678.00

A quick note to the authors and wireframe render tutorial

2011-04-02T01:35:00.000-07:00

I had started adding a short reviews to the models selected for the Top 10, which will point out the good and the bad (if any) sides of the product.

I often find a very good looking models which can easily make it to the Top 10 if they had a wireframe previews.
This is very useful for the clients that want to buy your product, so do it!

If you don't know how, here is a video tutorial by Dimics DM, which shows you how to make wireframe renders in v-ray and mental ray in 3DS Max:

how it works?

2011-03-26T12:08:00.000-07:00

I'm using my experience as a 3D modeler and a few simple rules to evaluate the models that are added monthly.
The main things considered are:
1. Complexity
2. Presentation - render quality, included wires, description, etc.
3. Price
4. Originality

and a few additional rules:
5. Only one asset per author monthly
6. Models below 30$ will be totally ignored, this is a Top 10 after all (and under-cutters are not welcome)
7. Models without wireframe preview image will not be included.

introduction

Hi there!
This blog is kind of experiment to me and is still in development stage.

The main goal is to help fellow 3D artists who produce high quality models to get some more exposure to their work and by doing this, I think, I will also help customers searching for 3D content to find some models that really worth the price. There are a lot of simple or badly modeled assets that are added daily so it is easy to miss the good ones in the clutter.

This will start like a monthly top 10 and will develop if there is interest, if not it will most likely die.

Simple as that.
