Another source of free cars, and a good deal more, will be found at www.thefree3dmodels.com also known as www.tf3dm.com. Visitors will probably have to browse a little for the 3D format that suits the application they're using. The models aren't always Poser or DS compatible.

Thanks! Haven't seen that one before. Browsing through the cars now... Isn't it amazing how people like modeling Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but don't really care to model things like a Toyota Prius or Chrysler Town & Country? ;-) I was also looking for different iPhone models... and there's a few there! Awesome. And a skateboard! I'll have to retexture it completely, though. At least it's free!

Why, y'ere more 'n welcome, you cheesymaid, you! The Free 3D Models web site is always worth a lingering visit.
Modelers with cash to burn will find nice automobiles, and just about everything else, at humster3d.com.
(I go there to drool
. . . and to cry.)
Love those smileys to pieces!Live long and render

Okay, downloaded a few...
Since I am a Daz user, I don't know how it imports into Poser, but some of those models are not the easiest to work with in Daz. They're fine as a non-moving object, but some of them (especially rips from games) won't give you good interior pieces, or even very good ways to pose the wheels very easily.
AT least, that's how it was with the Lambo Murcielago that I tried out. The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO was a bit nicer, but the one that I chose was not rigged at all.
Of course, they're free. So it's hard to complain.
I'm going to have to dig through these a bit more to find stuff that fits my needs. Fortunately, I already found a horrible FIAT on *deleted* for what I wanted, but I'm still looking. I'm really looking for boring cars, not sexy exotics. It looks like I'd have to pay a bunch to get unsexy things like a Prius.
The guns on that site, on the other hand... maybe they are still clunky, but there's a TON. And for guns, I want the popular things. M4A1 with tacticool accessories? There's TONS of that.

Not a copy, but an interpretation. We did a Frazetta rally right after his passing and that was a really good rally weekend I think that any prize package should include something for all Genres Some vendors might say, just pick something from my store.. so if they offer gear that would induce GAY Artist to participate, then offer that item, otherwise seek out the Vendor offering say, Male Leather Chaps, or one of Choppski's GAY Comics and offer it.. As to Contest. Offer any Vendor who contributes the right to Judge the images, Most may not have the time but some do and their input has been awesome as Ii know this from running past contest. We should have at least 7-8 judges per contest.. Contest Categories.. How about one that makes the Artist Think Outside the Box and gets them to do something outside their comfort zone.. We did this once to determine which 8 members would be allowed into the Premier Artist club and the results were Amazing.. The images would be based on their present gallery images and how they produced something opposite of what they normally post. For some this will be a challenge ... for myself, I would find it very hard to wrap my head around producing an all male sex image..

Summer's almost over. Are we going to do a Summer Days (or some such) rally?

The Summer Sizzle contest was replaced with the special Daz contest we ran a few weeks ago, The Halloween contest will kick off in just a few weeks though And if we hit a lull over the winter months I'll be sure to run the Summer Sizzle contest to help warm everyone up

Maybe Michael 7 will be available by then...

For a future contest idea, how about a prison theme? Or something involving people in uniform, cops, firemen etc

As far as contests go we are pretty packed as it is, and at one point we were almost running a full blown contest every month, after some discussion we decided we needed to dial back a bit on the contests so artists nor prize sponsors got burned out from them. Rallies... always room for more themes :)

More like Michael, Hiro, Freak, Gianni, Lee, and god knows how many more G2 male archetypes I missed, all getting their "7" versions... and then some. Seriously DAZ... W.T.F.???

Ok so I'm very new here for a start.
I'd really like to see a story competition.
So here's what I'm thinking.
A set of renders with a story line (possible themed) limited to say 15 or 20 story panels (renders with text).

Hi, I think I probably missed the boat on this. I think the contests are okay already but I would suggest you have some prizes awarded by judges and some as popular vote e.g. through the number of likes [probably rather than views].
I have never won a prize yet but I would still enter for the kudos only if necessary.

Once we get a critical mass of Victoria 8 and Michael 8 product in the store here, might we have a contest for them like we did for Victoria 7?
