Well, apart from the that was what I ment. Seems like they use the "free models" to fish for visitors to buy models.
Well modeling takes time and time costs.
But are you after something specific? You could always ask here. I have in the past and been amazed at the generosity of the people on this forum. ( In one case, in my uber noobie days, a member actually modeled a request for me. (Bless you Gully Foyle).

Yes I understand it takes time, but since there are a couple of free models in the 3d warehouse I thought perhaps there was some similar site.
Thanks for the offer, that was nice, but I might need just about anything and most of the time I need it fast.

Well, you know what they say: You might want fast and cheap and good, but you can only chose two.
I see from your profile you are in education... pray tell your use of SU for this porpoise?

(Just fishingEducation? No, I´m a graphic news designer. I must´ve marked something random when registering to this forum. Perhaps I ment that I´m here for education, I don´t know, I don´t remember.
Fast and cheap works well if the model is what I need for a specific purpose.

Well now you talkin... late here, but quickly. Easy to build a fast/cheap model if the client has a clear idea of how it will be seen. Basically, the closer the model, the more detail, the more time etc. But if a corner of a couch is all that is seen, still cheap and fast cos its only that bit has to be modeled.

ciaoI don´t work with models for clients, I do infographics. Models can be part of a job, but not in the way you probably think. 3D model designer and and graphic news designer are two different jobs.

Oh well, never mind.
BTW, I trained as a graphic designer in the late 70s, in Britain a graphic designer was someone who could communicate visually. I suppose with infographics you have to be part designer, part accountant...
PS: googled graphic news designer, no hits, must be very new. mieawww

A graphic news designer is usually employed by a newspaper, doing primarly infographics. A graphic designer could be anything.
Accounting? Nope there´s nothing of that kind involved in my work, luckily

They might not have done the modellling in SU. It can be done though, in many different ways. I would do the modelling in SU and then import to Illustrator. Again, there are multiple ways of going about it.

Comment and Criticism on images submitted, tho in this case, its not your work, sorry for misunderstanding your unclear provenence.

One criticism of the above example is that it´s not the best way to present the data, but they probably liked the design idea too much to drop it. It looks really neat though, with the profesional appearance still intact. The two can be hard to balance sometimes.
