For this reason, we’ve put together a collection of resources to help you along the way. Follow the links below to learn what you need to know to get started.

Use Library Objects
The easiest and quickest way to get started creating content for PixelSquid is to work with our Object Library. Each object within the library has been made following the PixelSquid Spec and is guaranteed to work perfectly in the PixelSquid Studio.
Use as many objects as you like to create compelling scenes that beg to be photographed. Your imagination is the only limit. Follow the links below to learn more.

Use Your Models
You can also use your own models for PixelSquid; either on their own or mixed with our Object Library models. If you are using your own models, there are a few more rules, techniques and concepts that you must learn.
This training gets a little more complex since it is required that your models are both created in 3ds Max/V-Ray and absolutely photo-real. To help you along the way, we have created photo-real training and an extensive V-Ray Material Library. Follow the links below to learn more.

[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″]A stock 2D site needs to be filled with stunning shots. Once you’ve created a PixelSquid scene, it’s time for you to start creating some of those shots. We have built lots of training to help you achieve the best results, as well as a custom tool that makes it easy to get compelling shots out of your 3ds Max scenes.

Since PixelSquid is all about beautiful imagery, there are a few extra steps of visual QA that need to be done by our Inspectors here at Turbosquid before your work can go live on PixelSquid.
Publishing is easy when you follow the steps and familiarize yourself with the approval process, so follow the links below to get started.
