thanks for the advice.... to claudiomil, unfortunately i deleted the preddy model i had and so the file convertor wont be of any use....i shouldve asked for advice then....but that a lot anyway for your help! =) i tried to download the preddy model by TBKoen but the server keeps timing out....after i download 12 megs it cuts off and says "403 Forbidden"...tried 3x and the same thing...i have a program that recovers broken downloads but its no help....my program says that the file cannot be found on the server...this happens whenever i try to resume broken downloads....will try a faster connection next time.... thanks again all! =)
