Way back (6 months ago) I asked for contributions of 3D graphics
object databases, particularly those in the form of polygons.  I
did actually receive a few interesting ones, and we have added a
few simple ones of our own.

I am still looking for other contributions, and I'm willing to
disseminate the ones I have, so long as the copyright notices which
appear in the files remain.  (I've tried to give credit where credit
is due - please respect the rights of the original creator/author.)

If you email me, I'll send you a list of objects that I have.
You can return the list to me to let me know what you're interested in.
(If I get swamped with requests (> 10 or so) I'll post the objects
to net.sources and let people get them there.)  I also have a document
which describes the format of the data bases more thoroughly.
Software for reading and writing objects in this form will be
released with the next MIT/X Windows distribution (3-4 months?).
