3Dwalkthroughs.com understands that not every company or individual has the same budget to spend on a 3D project. As a company we try to be a creative as possible when thinking up ways to work within someones budget.
Recently we came across an interesting concept that will let buyers/sellers of 3D models come together in sort of an istockphoto concept for 3D assets. The concept is called Presto3D.com and the models can be used for animation, architecture, gaming, etc.
The process is fully automatic; an artist submits a model for sale in a format produced by one of the major 3D authoring tools (3dsMax, Autodesk Maya, etc.) at a price they believe is fair. Presto3D creates a 3D preview of the model, also making the original model available in COLLADA, a universal file format. Once the preview gets final approval from the artist, it can then be viewed in the browser by all prospective buyers.

Obviously the success of the site will depend on the amount of users that contribute high quality usable 3D models. If Presto3d.com can generate a large database of models they could really be on to something.
