Turbosquid has announced plans to develop a certification program to improve quality of stock 3D models across Falling Pixel and Exchange 3D

Following the announcement of a merger with Falling Pixel and Exchange 3D, Turbosquid, which hosts the world’s largest marketplace for 3D models, has revealed plans to develop a certification program.

The program, which is currently in a beta phase at Turbosquid, aims to raise the bar for quality in stock 3D models.

Following the acquisition, the program will be rolled out across Falling Pixel and Exchange 3D – which will both continue to run as separate sites, under the management of Turbosquid.

By completing the merger, Turbosquid has extended its reach, having continental bases in Europe through Falling Pixel, and Russia through Exchange 3D.

“We are always considering ways in which to grow our industry,” says former managing director at Falling Pixel, Jonathan Lloyd, who is now a member of the Turbosquid executive team.

“We realised, though, that true, meaningful progress could not be made as separate companies. By joining forces, we can now work together to develop the future of the 3D marketplace.”
