For my research in computer vision, I am looking for input files describing simple objects such as telephones, cars, geometric solids, animals, etc. The objects don't have to be very complex, and any input format is fine. For example, if you hacked up an image simply to try out one of the PD ray tracers, I'd like to hear about it. This shouldn't be any work for you, just drop them into an (electronic) envelope and send them to me at "tmb@ai.mit.edu"; brief comments regarding non-obvious/strange file formats would, of course, be appreciated. If you know of any data bases/libraries of 3D objects (commercial or free), I'd also like to hear about it. Thanks for your help, Thomas.

Does anyone know where it/they are?
