Well, there are several resources available, but there are no really good comprehensive libraries of real-time 3D models that I know of. My company, Vector Graphics, produces custom-built real-time 3D models (aka "virtual worlds") for the VR and game industries. We don't keep a library of the models we build because most of our customers are publishing our models, and need to own all rights to them. Unfortunately, this is true throughout most industries, causing a large part of the 3d modeling that is done today to be unavailable to persons such as yourself. You can contact stock houses such as Viewpoint Datalabs or Arcuris (see any trade magazine for contact info), but you may find that it is cheaper to design the models yourself, then have them built by a company like mine (or Worldesign, or a free-lance 3D artist). Good luck, and be sure to post if you find any good libraries of real-time models! -Josh -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Josh White -- Vector Graphics: Custom 3D models for realtime 3D games & VR Love:1985 Ninja 900 "Ninjette"; Hate:1984 Nissan Sentra "Ted Dang" -={ 3D artist, game developer, motorhead, soccer player.
