Best free or affordable 3D rendering resources

grabcad, humster3d and visune

blendermarket has some solid stuff for cheap, will gibbons and visune for some more moderatly priced pieces but the peice of mind that everything is essentially done for you

  • Poliigon and visune are good ones that have good quality free resources that can be used with different materials with some tweaks

Grabcad and Polyhaven

Poly haven and cg trader

I use only GrabCad and CGTrader

Dimensiva - 3D models of great designs for the professional community

Has a collection of free 3D models with an account.

Ambient CG, Poliigon

GrabCAD

Dimensiva is quite good, it’s subscription based but i tend to subscribe for a short amount of time, download everything I need and unsubcribe

I used to buy at Poliigon, but those bastards took away all my credits just because I didn’t pay 1 month. Now I use freepik and create all materials by myself

Most of the time I use GrabCAD and CGTrader

GrabCAD, although usually searching 'model you’re after + free 3D model" does the trick

I often use TurboSquid, CGTrader, and SketchFab

Hey everyone! Where can I find models of hands holding a product, limbs, 3D models of people for product perspective, and skin textures?

If you really need realistic hands I think I would go for Photoshop. Rendering skin is quite challenging but it depends how realistic they should be of course. I think ArtStation always has a lot reasonably priced models. You can also try SketchFab.

The models on the ones mentioned vary quality wise but it really depends on how realistic models need to be. You can also look at Evermotion, TurboSquid and so on.
