hi,
im trying to improve my composting skills and what i really need is some 3d-stuff to combine with live-action footage for testing purposes.

im trying hard to get into maya but what i know until now is that i never wanna be a modeler

so, heres my question: what is the best resource for free models (would be perfect if they are already textured and shaded) on the internet. no max models please, only formats that are supported by maya are welcome.

i know its a bit offtopic and not a "real" compositing question, but i thought its although well placed here, because you compositing guys know what im looking for.

thx in advance,
payton
