Anyone know of any good sites for 3d models and stuff to be used in web pages?

3D models to be used in web pages? If you happen to find a single site just for that, i'll be seriously surprised.

I know of quite a few sites that have 3D models available for download. They can then be used in renders which can be converted into something nice for a website. But i don't think a single one of them has a specific category for "3D models for websites."

A better description of what you want might help. I think you might want something with flash... i can't help with that, but i can move this to a section where some people probably can.

Ok i guess i was a bit specific basically i just want some 3d models... then i guess after that i will find a way to incorporate them into a website.

I can almost guarantee you won't find anything like that for free. I'm not even sure of websites where you can get anything similar.

So you want to find a 3D model that you can use with Flash to make a neat animation like that disc-like thing?

Honestly, i don't know enough about flash to even begin recommending something for you to do. So i'm moving this question to a better place.

no one sells that stuff... either you create it on your own using 3dsmax or cinema4d or you let someone do it for you.

3D models cannot be directly put into Flash, as it is not a 3D program. You must either use Swift3D, which makes frame by frames of 3d models into vector art, which even then is just a 3D animation made in Swift3D, rendered as 2D vector art that looks 3D so that it can be used in 2D flash. Or just make line art that looks 3D, like you would draw on paper. Other than that 3D art that you see in websites is not actually 3D, it is a render (a picture) of a 3D object. To be short and sweet, Flash nor the internet work with 3D models, you use a 3D program such as 3D studio max or Cinema 4D to make frame by frame pictures of 3D models, then the pictures are used online(they just look 3D, like a picture of a person looks 3D, and the animations are just frame after frame of 3D, like TV). The only anything that is used as 3D information in an online environment is VRML code, which is basically useless, and and a filetype called .CGM, which has very limited use for the Computer Aided Drafting industry. The internet is 2D, but those of us who are 3D experts just like to trick it into being 3D occasionally (I say occasionally because even then the filesizes are enormous to have all those frame by frame pictures). And you must have a 3D program to do even that with a 3D model.
