Original Robot and Athene models?

[KungFooMasta]

Hi Ogre community!

I was wondering if anybody knew where the Robot and Athene models come from? I know the Ninja comes from Psionic3D (http://www.psionic3d.co.uk/?page_id=25) but I can't find the Robot/Athene models. I've been playing around with XNA games using knowledge I gained from Ogre projects, as well as some default Ogre media, and would like to add these models to my scenes if possible. I'm using 3ds Max so any format compatible with that would be ideal. For Psionic's models I had to use Milkshape to export to max or 3ds format and import into Max, not as straightforward.

The robot also comes from Psionic. It's not on his home page, but he gave it to CharacterFX.

Some of the meshes (like jaiqua) are from softimage. I think athene turned up around the same time.

This one looks like athene: http://artist-3d.com/free_3d_models/dnm ... p?uid=1294
But the license is a bit crappy (it's aimed at renders, not real time stuff like ogre) so I hope it's not exactly the same as ogre's.
It's based on Palas Atenea, so there's probably a number of them around.

Awesome, thanks for the links! According to some old importer list it doesn't look like 3ds max would import .cfx files by default, but there might be a plugin somewhere.

Also I couldn't find a download button on the Athena page, maybe I have to be a signed in user. I was able to pull this model from .mesh to .fbx format using Ogre command line tools and an old blender plugin, however the model is super high poly. (As it turns out all statue models I've seen are high poly, guess they are meant for lighting fx)

Assuming I can go from .cfx to .fbx, it looks like the Men-In-Black model and Yago model could be used also. Psionic is very generous to let us use his models without restriction! (just fyi I gave him credit in my XNA game that I published )

I prefer this statue from the Stanford 3d scanning page rather than athene:

But it's 28,055,742 triangles.

Also I couldn't find a download button on the Athena page, maybe I have to be a signed in user.

Down around the middle of the page (just above the 5 unrelated model thumbnails) is a link labelled: "Download Zipped Media File: 3d-athene.zip*"

Ah thanks. Funny they made it blend in with the advertisement. That is a very nice pic of a statue. I tried optimizing the athene model but it just won't come out pretty. You'd have to have some great talent to make a decent imitation of these statues in under 1k polygons.
