Some of the sharecg links lead to Xmas msgs instead of meshes and some are broken

Some of the sharecg links lead to Xmas msgs instead of meshes and some are broken

The Xmas messages have links to aircraft.

Which links are broken?

Thanks so much for this list!

Question - I’m still a noob with DAZ Studio. Some of these links are to .3ds formats. Can they be used in DS? How?

Thanks!

Thanks so much for this list!

Question - I’m still a noob with DAZ Studio. Some of these links are to .3ds formats. Can they be used in DS? How?

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

The 3ds models have to be converted to be used in Daz Studio. There was a thread on the old forums that told folks how to do that… but I didn’t save the thread or its URL, so I can’t point you at it. Perhaps if you asked in The Commons, somebody might be able to help.

Oh, and there’s another version of the Polikarpov I-16 here:
http://www.sharecg.com/v/63133/

I’ve finally had time to go through the list and find the 11 broken links that Elowan mentioned exist. (Including both the Military Helicopters/Tiltrotors that used to be on the list…)

Folks, updates get performed faster if you tell me exactly what’s wrong. Saying “there are broken links” doesn’t help me at all, if you don’t point out which links are broken.

Anyway… the big list is updated.

And here’s a link to a new model of a military jet:

If I had, they’d be on the list… You might have better luck asking in the “General Freebie Requests” thread that’s stickied to the top of General Freepozitory.
