3D Model Catalog

All models in this catalog were created by Mike James, using The Foundry's "MODO" software.

IMPORTANT: Before purchasing any 3D model, see the info page here. This will show you my simple and fair licensing agreement, and will answer the most common questions about file formats, and how certain features transfer between them. All sales are final. Prices for some models below will be increased somewhat by the end of 2022, as many of them have been updated.

Updates as of June, 2022

To purchase any model in this catalog, simply Email me with your request. I will then email you a copy of the licensing agreement, along with a PayPal "money request", for the amount shown here. Once payment is received, I will then provide you with a link for direct download of your file(s).

The digital nature of these products means that they could be copied and redistributed, which not only kills your investment, but harms my business. Today, my simple licensing agreement gives you permission to use these models in any image or animation as you wish, with no requirement to credit me, (although appreciated) but prohibits you from redistributing them in any way. Naturally, I do custom models too, so if you have a project in mind, contact me. I've put together a brief pricing guide here, which will give you an idea of what to expect. My business involves all kinds of 3D modeling, rendering, and animation, in addition to aircraft. In addition to the standard polygonal formats, I also have the ability to produce files for use in higher-end CAD software, and/or for traditional machining. (IGES, STEP, SAT, 3DM, and STL) This means that I can model custom 3D projects for you, with the final output goal being machine-ready parts.

NEW: For those of you with larger needs, such as production companies, there's an option to buy the entire catalog for one hugely-discounted price. See the bottom of this page. And, for those of you that prefer less expensive, low-poly assets, I'm now also offering 36 low-polygon models, to use in your games, or simply as low-overhead props in your 3D scenes. They are available individually, or as a collection, and area also at the bottom of this page.

Thanks for your continued support!

Piaggio "Avanti II" P180 in Extreme Detail
$600.00

Available now in ".lxo" format now - Other formats available on request.

Thanks to excellent documentation, this model features a highly accurate exterior and structural components, and (in .lxo format) is rigged for animation. Controls in the cockpit are rigged to move with the external flight controls, and the model includes the cables, pulleys, and servos that make up the control system, as well as moderately-detailed engines, variable-pitch propellers, and much more. It's the primary subject on my latest tutorial set, "Modeling with MODO, Volume Six". More info on that tutorial, including preview movies, here.

This model is entirely Catmull-Clark surfaces, making it suitable for high-resolution displays, and virtually future-proof for higher-resolution needs in the future. The "Evo" version is now standard.

This model is "movie ready", and has already been used in several presentations, pitching the idea for a new "D.B. Cooper" movie. We'll see... The "non D. B. Cooper" version was also featured in February, 2016, in some animation I did for Emilio Corsetti's new book, "Scapegoat", on the unfortunate saga of TWA Flight 841.

The interior colors shown here are a simple piece of "airflow-shaped" geometry, colored with a transparent gradient, representing the gas temperature. It can simply be toggled on or off.

This model has been featured in one of Andreas Fecker's books on aviation technology, and in The Foundry's Gallery.
