+comments:
+description: Verify the important aspects of your character model in Blender and in Studio.
+next: /art/characters/testing/blender
+---
+
+It's important to constantly test your models during and after the creation process to ensure that your character can interact with various social and environmental elements in any experience.
+
+Whether you are using a template character, or your own custom assets, use the information provided in [Test in Blender](../../../art/characters/testing/blender.md) and [Test in Studio](../../../art/characters/testing/studio.md) throughout your workflow to comprehensively test your assets and quality check your models.
+
+Use the following table as an overview of common tests and resources to verify each component of your character model.

+  You can apply the following workflows with any modeling software, though certain interfaces and instructions may differ between platforms. See [Testing in Blender](../../../art/characters/testing/blender.md) for additional information.
