We started Creative Market a little more than 2 years ago with a vision to build the world’s marketplace for design, where anyone with an idea could get access to a massive library of ready-to-use design assets to make their creative projects look incredible. But if you’re working on a new game, film, architectural design, or construction project, you know that not all creative projects begin and end in the 2D world.
So today, we’re expanding to launch a brand new 3D content category, making it easy to find, license, and download high-quality 3D assets directly from top independent 3D artists around the world. With a growing library of models, textures, and animations, and the backing of Autodesk (our parent company!), we’re excited to take our first step into the world of 3D.
Going Beyond Screenshots
We knew that static 2D screenshots wouldn’t do this new category justice, so we’ve partnered with 3D community Sketchfab to make it possible to interact with live 3D model previews directly on the product page. That means you can rotate, zoom, and explore models up close, from any angle. It’s like being able to try before you buy!
Here are a few examples of these interactive previews that you can find in the new 3D category:

Military Jet Engine by TooTidy Games
Survival Prop Pack by PolyPixel Online Store
Modular_Building_1 by 2dawngames
Low Poly Angel Female by Bitgem
Integrated Into Autodesk Apps
When Creative Market was acquired by Autodesk in 2014, we had a vision of not only launching a new 3D category backed by the biggest name in 3D, but also making time-saving assets available to 3D artists in the tools they use every day.
That’s why we’re also announcing a direct integration into 3ds Max 2016, giving users instant access to download ready-to-use content without ever leaving the app. Additionally, Autodesk Stingray launched last week with a dedicated hub on Creative Market, so game makers can purchase 3D models, animations, and materials to include in their games.
