When building almost anything, you need resources like blueprints, 3D models, textures and 3D tutorials. These resources can be found separately on many websites online. But wouldn't it be nice to rely on one site for all these needs? It sure would save you a lot of time and aggravation! Well you're in luck because they do exist! These websites offer resources for people interested in 3D modeling, Animations, Graphics and Designs of any kind. Here are a few examples of the topics I've found in each category on one website in particular.
Tutorials - By definition, a tutorial is a computer assisted instruction, usually divided into sections, on how to use a certain piece of software or another type of process such as design, building, or cooking to name a few
- Animation
- Basics
- Character set up
- Effects
- Lighting
- Materials
- Modeling
- Rendering
Blueprints - A blueprint is usually a paper based production of a technical drawing documenting an architecture or engineering design but they can also be based online as well
- Helicopters
- Modern Aircraft
- Old Era Aircraft
- Cars
- Ships
- Sports Cars
- Tracked Vehicles
Models - A model represents the way in which a construction is built
- Bathrooms
- Casino
- Furniture
- Kitchen Equipment
- Movie Art
- Structures
- Doors
Textures - The feel or look of a surface or a fabric
- Brick
- Buildings
- Nature
- Roads
- Fabric
With all these different facets available on one website you wouldn't need to go anywhere else, you could spend your time more efficiently and allow yourself to find whatever you wanted without opening a bunch of different windows/tabs. Obviously since these websites offer all the options above, it would also make it easier if they had a search engine right on the site, and they do!
These search engines will most likely allow you to search within whatever category you want. For example, if your searching for a blueprint of a Shelby Mustang then you simply enter Shelby Mustang into the search engine on the site, select blueprints, press submit and your results will show up. This is entirely too easy! Most of these sites offer so many different subcategories within the categories that you literally wouldn't have to go anywhere else for anything else. And thats exactly what these sites were designed for!
If you would like to find the sites that are "one stop shops" please visit the following sites:

Good luck in your search and your project as well!
