Decent free 3d models?

[elbows]

Anyone know of some good internet resources for free (or cheap) 3d objects? (preferably in 3ds format) Since visJockey now supports 3D I've been looking, and I found a few sites but I wasnt over impressed.

Doing 3D while avoiding the "cheese factor" is also an interesting challenge :D

dunno if this'll b any help but you can download a little 3d program that goes by the name of blender [bout 2megs from www.blender.nl] it's a bit daunting at first but u can make cool animations but as im new to this whole thing i dunno if its what u r looking 4
- hope its of help

Im still searching for a good cheap 3d program (probably a contradiction!)

Meanwhile for $49 I found a funny program - 3DMeNow, which allows you to build a 3d model of your own head using 2 photos, its quite good. http://www.biovirtual.com/3DMeNow/index.htm

Allthough there is no substitution for making your own, this is a great place to dl meshs's for inspiration.
