The 3D Object Library is a free resource for downloading objects developed by the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) in collaboration with Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) and RMIT University. The 3D objects can be used to create virtual worlds and landscape visualisation products. The files are provided in a number of formats. File formats supported to date include: .GIF, .WRL, .3DS, .MAX, .X3D and .FLT file format. To date there are more than 130 3D objects that can be downloaded and viewed in 3D modelling packages such as Autodesk's 3D Studio Max (external link) and Bitmanagement's BS Contact (external link). All objects are made available free of charge but with no warranty.

The following clips are examples of the type and quality of objects that are available. These videos should display directly in your browser if this does not happen you need to update the 'Adobe Flash Player'. This is can be downloaded for free from the Adobe website (external link).
