The models on Foundation 3D look very good and would fit for my use. But I can't download them :( I completed registration and tried several browsers, but I can't download them! Are these models "premium content"? Or can somebody help me?
The models are free. You might contact them. The faq of downloading mentions that registration may take a bit to go through. I regged there years ago & don't remember how long it took. Being the weekend may be a factor. When registered and logged in, you get a download button on the model's page. I downloaded the model yesterday using Opera with no problems.
My 3D computer is down so I can't see it in Poser. The only view I have is the low res preview from PoseRay. There are actually 47 material zones according to UVMapper, so yeah if you want anything beyond the basic colors it will take some work. The only area UVMapped is the red caution lines. Note form the readme that the creator wants a credit on use if that makes a difference to you.
The other option is Trimble 3D Warehouse http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/
There are plenty there but you'll either need the demo of SketchUp or the free vereion with a freeware script to convert to .obj. Quality and your results using them in Poser will vary.
Sadly, I don't seem to see as many free quality ships and aircraft these days. I'm glad I grabbed all I could find 5-6 years ago :-)
