Our policy is to act as intermediary in all artist-purchaser relationships. This ensures that if there is a problem, we are able to resolve those issues for you efficiently and within a proper framework. To protect privacy of both contributors and customers, direct contact with artists is not allowed. If you wish to communicate with an artist, please contact Support. They can contact the artist for you and make sure that all of your questions are answered. Additionally, if you have technical or usage concerns about a model you're considering, you can request Support to reach out to the artist for further clarification about the model’s specifications. This ensures customers have the information needed before making a purchase.

If a purchased 3D model is not functioning as described, our product support team can reach out to the artist to address these issues. To streamline this process, please provide detailed information about your issue, including screenshots if possible. If the artist cannot resolve the problem, we will work with you on alternative resolutions, such as refund arrangements or credit. To minimize post-purchase issues, we recommend utilizing TurboSquid's resources for pre-purchase testing, like free model downloads, to assess compatibility before making a purchase.

How to Test a 3D Model's Compatibility and Suitability Before Purchasing

General Pre-Purchase Policies

TurboSquid does not allow users to download watermarked demo versions or trial parts of a paid 3D model before purchase. No samples or trial downloads for paid models are made available. This policy ensures a consistent purchasing process across the platform. If you have specific questions about a paid 3D model, TurboSquid's support team can assist by contacting the artist on your behalf for additional details.

Alternative Testing Methods

  • Free Models: TurboSquid offers a wide selection of free 3D models that can be used to test compatibility and assess the suitability of a particular format or aesthetic. Visit TurboSquid Free Models and use the format filters to find free models in the file type you'll be using. These free resources are an excellent way to evaluate technical compatibility without cost. When planning to purchase a 3D model on TurboSquid, leveraging free models and pre-purchase consultations via the support team ensures sufficient information for decision-making.
