JG3D

You can get Free 3D spaceships from NASA here: click There are all kinds of things available - 3D model of the Space Shuttle, Apollo Lunar Lander, the International Space Station, Skylab and many more. (All man made stuff, mostly US, no Area 51 or alien ufo's though :p) They are in .3ds format and come with lowish-res textures. I had to tweak the textures and model bit, but they seem to work fine, as you can see in the quick rendering I did above. Not bad for a free model. There are also some planet and space textures available, like this texture map of Mars and this map of a control panel from the Space Shuttle flight deck A handy resource if you need to make some spacey stuff!

Yes, that's right, for today I have a FREE 3D model in .max file format with the material and texture files included! Tintin was one of my favourite comic book heroes from my youth - I made this model a long time ago, it's based on the rocket in the 1954 book Explorers on the Moon . You can get the model here or here . It seems like Steven Spielberg is directing a new Tintin movie, set for release in 2010
