This is supposed to eventually become a directory of 4D-modelling related resources (i.e. Tutorials, 3D models, textures, images, sounds etc.) that are freely available on the internet.
This is a directory of '''modeling resources''' that are freely available on the Internet (for example 3D models, textures, images, sounds and tutorials).
