Here at CGTrader, we know that our 3D models are commissioned, downloaded and purchased for dozens of different uses – everything from games and animation to e-Commerce and driving simulators.

Just a few weeks ago, CGTrader hit another milestone in 3D content. The 800,000 ^th 3D model was uploaded to the CGTrader Marketplace. It was uploaded by Luis Lahuerta from 3D Everything, Spain.

Luis’ landmark 3D model is a baby’s room which he created over the course of 10 days, including all the models in the scene. The models were created in 3D Studio Max and exported to FBX, enabling use in all other 3D applications.

Another visionary retailer is arming its e-Commerce site with CGTrader ARsenal. German outdoor furniture company Garten-und-Freizeit.de is now using the new complete, pay as you go solution to create interactive Augmented Reality customer experiences expected to increase customer engagement, improve online sales conversion and help differentiate its brand.

Coinciding with Israel’s 71 ^st Independence Day and the 2019 EuroVision Song Contest, (which was hosted in Israel) is a phenomenally-composed, 3D SodaStream TV commercial, reflecting the home beverage carbonation company’s global reach and local pride.

Behind the commercial’s awesome animation is the talented, boutique BlackBoard Studios, which expertly integrated Sodastream’s product with global landmarks. The use of 3D adds a new dimension to the viewing experience, while reinforcing the SodaStream message that carbonating your own beverages is more than just a great idea, it is monumental!
