Hello, Amiga Lovers;

I started to play with TurboSilver about a month ago (I bought it almost a
year ago... shame shame).  Now, I am spending days and nights creating
short but fully rendered animations.  They look so good and real!

Now, I like to create more 3D animations and need help from Amiga experts
out there:

1.  Is there any 3D object libraries from where I can some 3D objects?
    So, I don't have to create them from scratch? 
    (Some cars, ships, air-planes!? would be fantastic.)
    Oh, and if these objects are not in TurboSilver format, please let me
    know how I can convert them, also.

2.  TurboSilver has a lot of parameters for setting different kind of
    surfaces.  I wonder if anyone has a list of these
    parameters for real life materials, especially for metals and gems ?

I would appreciate very much if anyone can give me answers or direct me
to the right direction.
