3D Models To Use For Holograms

List of places that you can get quality 3d models for testing your holograms (most of them free).

• Generally it is easier to use videos of the object you want as a hologram instead of the model itself.  Models are not essential, videos work very well.
• The higher end programs like .3DS Studio and Maya can be very expensive (in the thousands for some versions), you can download a 30 day trial for most though to test the models you want and render them into videos
• There and much cheaper or free products like Milkshape
