This picture and quote of Albert Einstein was shared and reshared hundreds of times in Google Plus last week. We were working on 3D artist profiles that time, so started to think: what could be that simple functionality that would best explain CGTrader's approach to the artists? The solution was very simple. It is so simple that it is quite strange to miss that functionality in any other 3D model shop on the Internet. Here...

According to...
