7:00: Session 1 - CheckMate 3D Modeling Standard w/ MicheleBousquet

3D modeling techniques have evolved by leaps and bounds since the early days in the 1990s, and models that were “good” 10 years ago don’t even come close to being useful now. But what exactly makes a model “good” for modern pipelines? With feedback from more than 1000 working production artists, TurboSquid has answered with the CheckMate 3D Modeling Standard. In this presentation, Michele Bousquet of TurboSquid will describe the standard, discuss its use in production, and ask for your feedback on the standard’s usefulness in your own work.
