This topic is for everyone who search for Models to use into Octane render

If you got good bookmarks and links for 3D Models or Modelling related tools/plugins/scripts post them here
I will manually copy your links and post them in the first message of this topic. That way the topic is clean
Don't forget to always put a link to the website and write some text about the quality or what's included


Tools and Converters

Meshlab for Windows / OSX and Linux
Open source software to filter / convert / clean 3D meshes in various formats.
Really usefull when you download 3D Scans and you want to convert them to .OBJ

Hey Sam and folks,
I just discovered this great site with dozen of free high quality classic furniture and accessories models:

http://renderstuff.com/

Unfortunately only a part of them are available in FBX and OBJ format too, MAX format available for every model (maybe some of you, max guys, could export some of them in .fbx for me... if you'll find this info of any use? )

cheers,
Alessandro

oh, and btw why this thread isn't a stichy one like "textures" and "hdris"?
