Hi, sorry, was looking for one myself. I then only found a Sojourner-MPG, created with WorldBuilder, that made me drool: http://www.id8mediagallery.com/Animateks_WB/Mars1%5B1%5D.mpeg Hubert

Hello again, sorry, but I myself never noticed such a model (visiting several sci-fi mesh sites). Already checked 3D-Cafe?? Glad, that there is no liquid-stuff on Mars. Want more makes-me-drooling examples?? Then look at the RealFlow gallery, esp. http://www.id8mediagallery.com/RealFlow/paint.avi Forget about the colors not sticking to the floor, but the fluid effects themselves!! Only my own drooling can beat this! Remind me to ask InsanyClause for such high-end-programs for oncoming X-mas (and the appropriate hardware)! Cheers, Hubert

wou the color flow is amazing!

Hi, nope, no free Pathfinder-model to find so far. At least, Nasa provides few DXF/OBJ-meshes of e.g. the Cassini-Orbiter, at: http://samadhi.jpl.nasa.gov/models/ Cheers, Hubert

Hello again, at least some Mars-goodies (also Bryce-users!): http://www.marssociety.org/interactive/toolkit/ There even seems to exist a Pathfinder DXF-model, but it is not available for free (JPL copyrights involved): http://www.astrogardensucceed.com/ftp/Pathfinder-copyright.notice Someone at the Forum once mentioned a search-engine for 3D-models. Sorry, but I couldnt find more at the moment. Hubert

Hi Ethan, glad that I could help (well, somehow). Hope, you will find an appropriate Pathfinder/Sojourner model. Same wishes to you, Hubert
