  2. A list of free resources and other useful things for 3d artists
  3. This is NOT a list of pirated resources, nor will it contain locations to pirate resources or programs. It's purely a list of resources that are freely available to anyone.
  4.  
  5. Almost everything on this list should be free. That doesn't mean it's CC0, so if you're wary about copyright, it might be a good idea to check first.
  6. Some sites may require a signup, and some might be sites that are "free" but limit how much or what you can download.
  7. Sites section are also in no particular order. You'll have to find what works best for you
