It’s a huge pile of data (in the range of 5-7GB) which I haven’t looked at much yet, but most of it is for Maya I think, which I can’t use. Still, the material references are going to be handy.

Oh cool! But maya .mb files. Not a problem tho 
Downloading Viper files now. I’m really interested in rendering a headlights! Hope they kept all the details there…
edit
Yeah they’ve created pretty dense mesh! Looks great. But it is tesselated 
No nurbs 
BTW here’s da quick attempt to render Viper. Just love cad data… lot’s of useless stuff, but I found brembo brakes, that I modeled from photos.
P.S.
Can we do something with this data ? It is a RED paint settings.

Lotta nice detail in there.
I’d love to hear about that colour data as well. Is that BRDF information or something like that?

looking good Paul
but, hmmmmm:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error ‘80040e14’
The transaction log for database ‘CGI’ is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

Downloading now…can’t wait to take a crack at these!!!
Paul,
Did you grab the pictures too…if they’re just photos of the real thing…i’m goingto skip em.
Yeah. There are fotos. But handy to grab a textures
P.S. Here’s my another attempt with suurland’s plates. Had couple of hours. Still compositing issues and geometry ones. But it was really fast done New wheels are coming soon. Have no time right now.
Maybe fast, but looking good! Nice images from Suurland as well
b
Yeah. Suurland plates are awesome.
