I'll dig through them and add them to the list this weekend when I can find the time - do beware tho that some of them ( like the Ryzom link ) use questionable/unsafe/cancerous licensing terms.

 

I should properly also explain the licenses a bit.

Good point Benji, though I would leave it on with a warning by it. They can still be used as placeholders or professional models to study from and emulate.

 

I would personally have it taken off the list - Just because well it is looked down upon when people rip models from other games.

 

Most models that are ripped from a game typically have triangles opposed to quads. They would be good for practicing retopo work on but other that nothing more.

 

Quads are allot easier to work with opposed to a bunch of tiny triangles.
