WWW site: http://cedar.cic.net/~rtilmann/mm/ titled (Mesh Mart) contains lots
of objects and textures that you might find useful. Most of the objects tend to
be in the 3D Studio format, but converters are available in the tools area. One
such utility is WCVT2POV (MS Windows App!), which will cross convert from 3ds,
dxf, obj and others to outputs including OpenGL code chunks. Other non-PC
converters are listed also, including something for iv.

good luck,
Jeff
