3D Modeling Company To Help Populate Vastpark Virtual Worlds

A new deal was announced that could mean a dramatic improvement in the look and feel of at least one of the 3D Virtual Worlds. The partnership teams up Vastpark, a virtual world application and game developer, with TurboSquid home to the world's largest marketplace of royalty-free 3D models.

TurboSquid and VastPark will simplify the previously complex process of integrating highly detailed 3D models into a virtual world by enabling VastPark users to call content directly from TurboSquid's extensive catalog of more than 195,000 3D models and into a VastPark world.

"Our virtual world creators will benefit a great deal from the link to TurboSquid," says Bruce Joy, CEO of VastPark. "They'll have access to a large quantity of unique content that they can use more immediately. Our development with TurboSquid will make the process of creating high-quality virtual worlds much easier."

"TurboSquid has long been the leading provider of 3D models and related content for video and print media such as games, architecture, and film. Making this content available for virtual worlds is a natural extension of our core business," says TurboSquid CEO Matt Wisdom. "Our independent sellers, the artists who create all the content for sale at our site, will now enjoy increased exposure to a new and incredibly vast marketplace of users."
