Need to find FREE 3D Models to use in your production?

Check out this list of "60 Excellent Free 3D Model Websites"
Link: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/60-excellent-free-3d-model-websites/
FYI: 3D Models may be created for other 3D programs, but may still work with Blender.


Need some add-ons for Blender? Try these on:

According to one of the sites, adding libraries to Blender:
- Adding the Presets.
- Download & extract the blend file to a safe place -.blender/materials works for me.
- Open Blender (not the material preset file yet) go: File/Append & browse to the materials preset file.
- Select Scene "Materials" (the only scene) you will now have a new scene called "Materials"
go back to your default/normal start up scene.
- Press ctrl/u (windows) to save user defaults.
- Now each time you open Blender you have instant access.

Til next time...
