Do you ever find good 3D models on social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok? How do you discover creators there, and do you trust the file quality from those sources?
I’ve scrolled through Instagram and TikTok for 3D models and found some talented creators showing off their work, but the problem is you rarely see the raw unsupported file or get a test print confirmation before buying. A cool render can hide bad topology or walls that are too thin, so I learned to always ask for a printed photo or a screenshot of the slice before sending any money. That’s why I ended up trusting marketplaces like https://www.gambody.com/ more because every model there comes from vetted designers and includes pre-supported versions plus clear print settings. Social media is great for inspiration and finding new artists but treat it like a gallery not a shop unless the creator has a proven history with customer reviews outside of reels and likes.
