Attached Link: Free Dream Catcher (.obj version)

Hi, everyone.  I'd like to introduce my latest free model for download, a highly-detailed **Dream Catcher**.  I'm sure most of you are familiar with what this is, but just in case some aren't:  In some Native American cultures, this hand-made object originating with the Ojibwe peoples, is often carefully decorated with beads and feathers, and is said to symbolize unity among the tribes.  In modern culture, when hung above a bed, is said to mystically protect the unconscious mind from bad dreams or nightmares, by trapping the "good" dreams in the web, where they slide down the feathers into the sleeping person.

This Dream Catcher model comes complete with high-res COLOR and BUMP texture maps, where needed.  All textures are .jpg format, and suitable for high quality, close-up rendering.  The topology of the model is 100% quads (quadrilateral faces), with a detailed, but optimized poly count of 65,892 total polygons, and 70,485 verts.  There are absolutely no triangles or Ngons in this model, and no overlapping UV's.  All parts of the model contain UV coordinates, but not all the parts require a texture map.

Here's a few wireframe renders, and production renders done with Octane render engine (no postwork):

The feathers are also full geometry, and do not require opacity or transparency maps of any kind.  For full details on how to properly import this model into your software application of choice, please refer to the included Readme.txt file.

The .OBJ version of this model is available now in Freestuff here on Renderosity.  Click Here to download it.  The native .max file format is pending approval.

Optionally, you could also download both the .obj and .max file formats right now at these locations:

Turbosquid.com
**ShareCG.com **

I'm proud to say that this is the first FREE Dream Catcher model available on Turbosquid.com!  The only other one I found there was over $20.  Well worth it I'm sure, but I was surprised there weren't more options to pick from.  Well, at least now there is. ;)

If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me here, or via email.  As always, I hope you like it, and can find a use for it somehow.  Thanks,

Wow!! That's lovely!! Thanks sooooo much :)

Thanks for the comments, everyone.  I truly appreciate the feedback.

Just a heads-up; the .max version of this object has been approved, and can now be downloaded in Freestuff as well.   This native file format would allow users of 3dsmax 2012 or higher easy access to each individual part of the object, if desired.  All parts have been grouped together in the scene as one object, but not attached, so translation or animation to any unique part of the model can be done without the need to access the sub-object level.

The modifier stack has been collapsed to ensure compatibility.
