Hi folks, I had run across some site that sold two disks, volumes 1 & 2, that contained 500 3D models each. They were mostly low-poly models with a handful of higher poly models. The disks came packaged in a book that not only gave descrptions of the models, but also had some basic info and history on modeling. The disks sold for $35 each. I can't for the life of me seem to find the website that sold these volumes. It seems to have disappeared. I thought I had saved the link, but apparently I didn't. Is anyone familiar with these volumes? I wish I could give you a name, but I don't remmeber. I basically just taking a shot in the dark here. Anyway, thanks for any info anyone may have on this.

The disks contained lo-poly versions of the models sold by a company called "De Espona". I am not sure who sold the lo-poly disks though. Hope this helps.

I have a feeling it was Taschen, I can't find anything on their website though.

OK, I take that back. If I search Amazon they don't come up, if I link to Amazon from Taschen they do, and less than half lst price. Odd. John

Thanks so much for that link. The Taschen book was what I had seen.
