About CG Trader  - 

CG Trader is the best online source of high quality 3d models. The CG Trader library contains over 1.5 million models, over 200 000 of which are free. I made this addon because I personally was frustrated with the annoying workflow between my web browser and Blender, and wanted an easy bridge between the programs. 

All CG Trader content is accessed legally through CG Trader's API. No scraping or other methods of illegal download are used. 

Using the Addon:

Using the addon has been made as simple as possible. Within Blender, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Addons > Install and select the ZIP file provided with download. On the first use, dependencies will need to be installed. Simply press the 'Install Dependencies' button, wait for the download to complete, and restart Blender. For more information about dependencies visit the documentation tab. To search for models, navigate to the CG Trader Asset Browser tab on the right of the Viewport. Here you can easily search, preview and import models from CG Trader's library.
