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"?
