Free Texture Library: Pixar One Twenty Eight BACK TO OVERVIEW TUTORIALS 6 May 2015 I’m always on the lookout for good asset libraries. Here’s an interesting one that I thought you might enjoy: a library of 128 tiling texturemaps by Pixar, released under a Creative Commons license! While they date from 1993, Pixar has upgraded them for release. Enjoy!

You can re-size using free SketchUp Make. Also, materials you can be easily changed in SketchUp Make. Useful if you download a lot from 3D Warehouse.

3d Warehouse has lots of low poly 3d people, try search string "3d warehouse low poly 3d models" in your browser. Check out one example below: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/u5766f411-7f99-44f2-9985-8ea744b38045/3d-man-standing-lowpoly Note data box on the right. In particular check sizes: .skp File Size 2.7 MB Polygons 5772 3d Models will slow down Chief. Place 3d models on separate layers so you can control which 3d models are required for particular "scenes" or camera views. Turn off 3d models when they are not required ( which is most of the time)

SteveByars, Suggest adding a few screen captures to illustrate what your checklist looks like. Notes as to how it can be used etc. Good effort.
