Does anyone have any vehicle models specifically cars if possible that are availible for download. I've taken the ones that are on 3Dcontent central. I'm doing a site layout and some vehicles would come in very handy.
Thanks

along with this, does anybody have any COMPLEX assemblies that I can test my video card against? or any complex animations set up that I can render?
 
Hey,
About car moddles, I found this the other day
Might help a bit.
About the animations for testing your card, Try just making a modle that has a lot of surfacing and render it with Global Ilumiantion and Caustics on. Be sure to also turn the sof shadowing up in sceen controlls. I have found that every graphics card has its limHey,

If you find it running faster than hoped you can always turn the lighting effects up. Be sure to also turn the soft shadowing up in scene controls. Also if you use very small scale displacement on all your surfaces you can increase the render time quite a lot, and it makes the specula shading much more realistic.

I would be interested to see what you manage to get the card to do.

Thanks for the link, but I have already downloaded these, they are good models but not really suitable. If you know of any others I would be most grateful.

Sorry about the messed up response, that is really strange. Good luck with your search.
