      Really depends on the type of thing you want to do, but the 3D warehouse is always a good start to look for such things.

        hey, im just in the SPhysics picture, so ill say what ive learned so far

        i belive you want to make an object stay in the air without falling?
        is so, i there is a setting to reduce gravity to 0 OR you can group said object and right click it> sketchyphysics>state>static; again, i tell you im a beginner so ther might be a better way to do so....

          Try this primitive balloon model attached. Well, it is an early form of flight 😛

          The next step is to add more thrusters for sideways motion and ruby controllers to adjust the thrust in flight, but the balloon model floats around quite nicely with a nudge. Select the balloon and open the UI to see the thruster parameter. One limitation is that the thruster will not work if the thrust object is grouped with anything else so that is why I have connected the "basket" with a joint and a gyro was added for stability. The altitude can be changed while the simulation is running by holding shift and giving it a nudge up or down, or by slightly adjusting the thrust parameter in the UI and putting the cursor back over the simulation window again.
