! NOTE !
Like most 'LINKS' pages on the web, there will, no doubt,
be more and more dead links on this page over time.
It may be years at a time before I return to this page to
remove dead links and replace some links with better links.
In the meantime, try 'WEB SEARCH' links provided on this page.

3D 'WEB DIRECTORIES' pages < Go to Table of Contents, above. > < Go to Top of Page, above. > It seems that 'web directories' are dying out. Google and Yahoo closed theirs down around 2014. Then around 2017, the directory from which the Google and Yahoo web-directories were spawned --- the DMOZ 'Open Directory Project' closed down. It seems that it is just not feasible for a team of people to keep up with all the sites that are going dead and the new sites that appear. About a year after the dmoz.org site closed down, it appears that a new web-directory site --- curlie.org --- arose from the ashes of 'dmoz.org'. It remains to be seen how long that web-directory lasts. Following are a few links related to 'web directory' sites. Wikipedia List of Web Directories - at en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ List_of_web_directories 3D Models - at curlie.org/ Computers/ Software/ Graphics/ 3D/ Models/ (Many links to 3D modelling tutorials, etc.) Rather than depending on any remaining 'web-directory' links, here are some WEB SEARCHES to get you started with '3D modelling' inquiries --- using keywords '3d model archive', and keywords '3d model tutorial', and keywords '3d model software'. Another approach to take: Go to the Wikipedia '3D_modeling' page or Wikipedia 'Category:3D_computer_graphics' page and start following links from that page. Go to Table of Contents, above.
