- Always check the license terms before using any 3D model in your projects
- Look for models in common formats like GLTF or GLB for best compatibility
- Consider the polygon count — lower poly models perform better in web-based 3D applications, and try to keep file sizes at or below 50mb.
- Many platforms allow you to preview models in 3D before downloading
