3D files can range greatly in size, and most artists will compress their files to make downloading quicker and easier. Below are some of the most common solutions for issues with compressed files.
Downloaded file is in the RAR, Zip, or other compressed format
Download and install a file extractor
Since most files on TurboSquid are compressed in some way, it is imperative that you have a file extractor installed on your computer.
- Windows
If you are using a PC, there are numerous free and priced file extractors available online, such as WinZip and WinRAR - Mac
If you are using a Mac, the App Store has a number of free and priced Zip and RAR extractors available.
I have an extractor installed, but I am unable to extract the files
- You may need to redownload the product
Sometimes an initial download attempt may be incomplete because of a paused, canceled, dropped, or idle connection. Try redownloading the product to see if this addresses the issue. - The artist provided multi-part archives
For incredibly large files, artists sometimes upload a product as “archive parts” rather than a single archive. Doing this reduces the chances of time-outs when downloading.
If you see multiple archive parts (Examples: filename.Part1.rar, filename.Part2.rar, filename.Part3.rar):
1. Download all of the file parts into the same folder.
2. Extract the first archive. This will automatically extract the subsequent archives
3. Once everything extracts, you will have a single model file to open or import.
I have tried all of the above, and I am still having an issue.
