[x3d-public] StemCell 3D models by TurboSquid

[John Carlson]

Looks like they’ve got a lot on their plate. I hope the company survives.  Note that I don’t think they’ve targeted the web per se (that is, no glTF, Three.js or X3D), and instead, they’ve chosen to support 3D engines (though some of those target the web) and authoring tools.

They’ve got a problem in that they’re in direct competition with the people they are trying to serve.

Just an opinion.

I am not sure this is anything more than remarketing.  A fancy name. I don’t think we get to see StemCell.

Anybody familiar with stemcell?

"Imagine the world’s largest library of 3D models available in any format. TurboSquid is proud to announce a breakthrough in 3D model standardization - StemCell. 3D artists will soon be able to build a model in their preferred format, upload it to TurboSquid’s servers, and receive perfect conversions to many other formats, including major game engines. Customers will feel like they’re working with a native file, no matter what app they’re working in. Artists can focus on building beautiful new models instead of mastering the art of conversions. Our vision is that buying a 3D model will be as reliable as buying a stock photo - it should just work. Under the hood, a StemCell submission consists of clean geometry and texture-based materials for standard specular and PBR workflows."

all the best, Don
