About Us – Tender3D
We have been buying and selling 3D modelling and animation internationally for years. We did it the slow, difficult way- finding suppliers on forums, taking chances with them.
As yet, there is no dedicated marketplace for 3D professionals on the internet that we know of. Tender3D will be a marketplace in which 3D modelling and animation can be traded internationally the way it should be done. Buyers will be able to specify exactly what type of 3D they require, and get an objective rating of response to tender from the system.
The application will be launching shortly.
