3-D models

Below you will find a .zip-file with all the models (690 Mb). Most models can be viewed using SketchUp or Blender, while a few requires other software. In these cases, we ask you to take a look at the images below and try to look behind the effects and textures to judge the physical properties of the model itself.

Download all models - files are named after their number in the gallery.
