3ds models

Hy,

Anyone knows where i can find 3ds models for free? I need to find a fireman car and i can't find :(

You could go to Google's 3D Warehouse, download a SketchUp model, (and download SketchUp too, if you don't have that - everyone should - unless you're running *nix, and then nevermind) and then export as 3DS.

if i convert the models they come up with 2mg of size how can i do for them have 500k?

Here are your options:

• Reduce the polygons, AKA, reduce the level of detail.
• Remove the textures, or use textures that are not so "heavy"
• Find a different model that is not so big
• Draw your own

The SketchUp community is a friendly bunch (just like here). If you ask how to make a model smaller, they can walk you through it. I'm sure the 3DS community is helpful as well.

I know there is a very active 3d artist community (3ds, Maya, etc.) located here:

You can check it out.
