Sources for Royalty Free/Open Source 3D Resources

[f00bar 10]

Here is a short list of "free" 3D resources of various

types/formats that I found while researching possible

addons. I'm not sure how useful these will be or how

easy it is to convert them for use in O2 but they might

be useful to someone.

Google 3D Warehouse:

FN SCARs:

Predator UAVs:

Savage X3D Examples Archive:

The Scenario Authoring and Visualization

for Advanced Graphical Environments (SAVAGE)

Research Group maintains a large archive of dynamic

3D military models and authoring tools, all open source

and built using Extensible 3D (X3D) graphics.

https://savage.nps.edu/Savage/

***NOTE: site is HTTPS only (for some reason) & seems

to use an invalid ssl cert (according to chrome).

The site has X3D download links and can use browser plugins

to preview models online.

Apparently, Blender can handle X3D files. Again, I

don't know how useful these models will be but they

might be a starting point for someone :)
