SceneCaster Adds TurboSquid Models
At the Virtual Worlds Conference in San Jose, SceneCaster announced an agreement with 2D and 3D content creators Turbo Squid to enable Turbo Squid's artists and modelers to offer free and premium pay-per-use content to SceneCaster and Facebook users.
SceneCaster already integrates with Google's SketchUp 3D objects, and the relationship with Turbo Squid represents an expansion on the 3D assets available for use. The program, which saw its official launch earlier this week, uses a simple drag-and-drop interface for users who want to make 3D scenes for their Facebook pages. SceneCaster also connects with eCommerce sites such as eBay and Amazon, product catalogs from manufacturers and retailers, and to other rich media social networks such as Flickr.
"SceneCaster is a compelling community for talented 3D artists who wish to extend the reach and value of their cutting-edge digital content to the mass market," said Matthew Wisdom, CEO of Turbo Squid. "We are proud to offer members of the 3D professional community a unique channel to reach a mainstream market of Facebook users and numerous consumers who are discovering 3D Web applications through SceneCaster."
"Our mission is to provide new monetization opportunities for 3D asset aggregators and modelers by instantly connecting them to a burgeoning community of consumers and social media enthusiasts," said Mark Zohar, Founder of SceneCaster. "Turbo Squid represents our premium 3D content offering to those who want to take their 3D experience on SceneCaster to another level."
