Mike....
i wasn't thinking of anything elaborate in the way of models...
mostly just bits & pieces to build bigger things with...
you know, kinda like a raw materials builders supply...
maybe an occasional mesh...that has no real commercial value, but
might be useful to expand upon...
no, I'd never recommend anybody give away a hard worked creations...
regarding the models available online, while there are numbers of good
ones, many are so very crude, they are hardly worth downloading...
one good one that comes to mind, was at a site where the host had
done many construction projects using a sizeable array of
architectural & structural steel shapes, that were
left over from his various project...he assembled them into
collections that could be down loaded for free...too bad they were of
a file type incompatible with Carrara...
they would have made great little time savers...
