123RF adds two new search options to help their users.  First up is the advanced model release search options.  You can now search for topics under model releases such as - ethnicity, number of people, age, and gender.  The second new search option is a check box for cutouts or isolation images only.  These are images with a flat consistence background, mostly white or black backgrounds.  Thanks to the guys at 123RF for these extra's.

Searching on The3Dstudio

Image
The3dStudio has done some more slight improvement for its users.  The have increased the speed of searches and improved usability of it also.  The largest upgrade comes with the ability to search and match some of the keywords you have entered or choose to match all your keywords you have entered.  This gives you the flexibility on the search results and can thin out or increase the results based on your exact needs. If you search under the stock photos category then the search engine will default to the more accurate option of matching all keywords you entered when possible. If all keywords can’t be matched it will revert to matching as many as it can and show the results as a “partial match”. For other categories, like 3d models, it will default to the broad search to show more results and then give you the option to do an exact search if needed.  So what are you waiting for, go search for something .
