Free Models?

jddg5wa

If I want to let other people have my models, on my own website, what can I do to ensure most anyone can use them?

I understand the basics, e.g. clean topology, good uv maps, etc. But when it comes to the program and file formats I only personally work with a few; .blend, .dae, .obj.

No idea what to do so someone can take the model and put it into 3ds Max or Maya, or any other program, and it still have all the materials and textures. Probably something I should know how to do even if I wasn't going to give away models.

Any advice and help is appreciated.

I dont think it would be that big of a deal for somebody to setup the textures manually themselves. If you look at the SDK thread most of the models are just the obj and all the maps packaged in a zip.

There is a way to do it, with material editor in 3dsmax and exporting with a path and folder, should be fine like that, it should also export the .mtl file for max to read the textures and all that jazz.
