(edit Oct29 '06) the Repository has moved to: http://e2-productions.com/bmr
Thanks, Andrew for hosting up until now. I’ll update this post when I have more information.
:ba:
If you have a mesh or a number of meshes that you feel could be of use to others, please post them here. especially common objects, like furniture, cars, cats and dogs, stuff like that. textured or non. it’s up to you. Realise that once you post a mesh here, it may be used by anyone, for whatever purpose, with the exception of selling them. I will put up a couple models in a minute. If you feel like it, you could also include a picture of the model.
<edit> there are also models available at www.blenderman.org
<edit> in light of what happened to an][ares, ( some guy was selling his alien queen model on turbo-squid for $80 a pop ) i would like to reitterate, these models are for personal use only, you may not sell them! If anyone sees any of these models being sold at turbo-squid or anywhere else, please notify me!

-------edit here is the pic with as far as i got on it-----
i will never have time to complete the texturing of this tank, or putting it into a scene. university is starting again which means that another 6 months later i will have more time, but thats to long LOL
so my tank is now going open source, i have UV mapped the body of it (the hardest part to UV map) and i have included a photoshop file that has the UV mapping as a template over a camo colour. this will make it easier for anyone wanting to texture it by hand.
if people UV map other areas of the tank, then it would be awsome if those alterations could be uploaded so that other people don’t need to re-do work on it.
i have two files for download.
the first is 2 Mb and is ONLY THE .BLEND FILE. if you download this file note that the aspect ratio of the UV mapped image is 2:1 (so 2xlong 1xhigh)
the second file is 6 Mb and contains BOTH THE .BLEND AND THE .PSD
the files are .zip but i used “7z” the windows version to compress it so you migh need that to extract it :S.
anyway here are the files, if you plan on using the PSD image then please downlaod the second one only, rather than downloading the first and the second 9saves me 2Mb bandwidht each time.
bump hey, where are all the models that are supposed to be flooding in from the 4 corners of the earth? c’mon guys, surely you must have something you would be willing to donate. [!]
I would donate, but all of my models are really bad or the good ones aren’t finished yet. So wait a little while and I will have a couple of things to post.
I am presently working on a couple of kitchens, three bathrooms and stuff. It’ll have many variants (thanks to the magic of the block data). I’ll post the results as soon as there are any.
I must also say that it should be used for non-commerical use. Otherwise please ask so we can negotiate a price…but hey it aint that great so why would anyone want it? (other than design value)
dante is correct. I was ready to bail on texturing that model and then I posted the blend file. TorQ unwrapped it, manually BTW, and then reposted the blend with the unwrap. I havd to tweak some stuff to flatten out some UV’s and get some stuff lined up, but most of the work was TorQ’s.
A big thanks to TorQ for that effort. But I did learn a lot from his unwrap and used similar techniques on other models since.
