Meshmell: A New Free 3D Model Distribution Site Launched

October 10, 2023

I have just released a new free 3D model distribution site called Meshmell.

Meshmell
Free 3D Models site

What is Meshmell?

Meshmell is a site for downloading free 3D models. All models distributed on this site are under the CC0 (Creative Commons 0) license, which means they are free to use and can be utilized for commercial purposes.

User Interface

While most current 3D model distribution sites are based on 2D web pages, our website allows for 3D operations right from the model overview page. This enables users to intuitively select and download models. The overview page offers three types of scrolling: depth scrolling, vertical scrolling, and horizontal scrolling (PC only), allowing users to choose the most convenient view for them.

Customizable Environment

Users can also change the environmental lighting and other settings using the weather toggle button. This feature lets users visually determine if the model fits their desired environment before downloading.

No Login Required

Users do not need to register an account or log in to download models.

Models Used

I, the site administrator, will also be posting models. We redistribute models that are published under the CC0 license. Below are the models and their respective creator's websites.

Adding Models

I will continue to create and add models myself. We are also looking for people who are willing to provide models (only under the CC0 license).

Fundraising

We are considering crowdfunding. The purpose of raising funds is twofold:

  1. To pay the contributors of the models as a reward.
  2. To cover the maintenance costs for server fees and development expenses for additional features.

Technical Details
