Resources for 3D

For projecteducate, Demoncherry and I thought we would go through the wonderful resources on dA, and highlight some of particular interest to 3d artists

Models
First, you've got to decide what to render ^_^ Hopefully, these models should help

Backgrounds
You might have got your entire scene together by now, but if you haven't, why not try putting it on one of these fab backgrounds?

Lights
The perfect lighting can be hard to find. However these may help

3d Stock
So you've used all that - why not give something back? Even if you can't make resources for 3d, your 3d renders will make great resources for photomanipulators and reference for traditional and digital artists Here are some examples of 3d stock.

Some final words
We hope you've enjoyed this resources feature and found some ideas for use in your future deviations. This is by no means and exhaustive list - there's loads of other thing you can do! For example you could use stock for pose reference or reference for building models. Have fun and don't forget to check out everything else that's going on in projecteducate's Stock and Resource Week
