Just to let you know the official word.

The models on De Espona are not the same as the models from Taschen. The Taschen models are only the low polygon models.

The collection on De Espona is not 5000 models, it is 1250 models, roughly, in four different resolutions.

At Vanishing Point we are taking each model, fixing it in a modelling program, often retexturing and mapping from scratch, and converting to Poser and Vue. The final models we release bear very little resemblance to the original model in some cases.

If you are looking for the MAX versions, the MAX versions on our site are redone in MAX 7 or 8, the originals from De Espona where done in MAX 5, some in earlier versions like 3 or 4. Remember, this collection was modelled ten years ago, so it is, for it's time, an awesome collection, but you cannot expect ten year old models to compete with products being made in modern programs and newer versions.

If there are any particular models you need, we will move those up on our list of conversions, but at this point the models we have requests for is standing at about 50, so don't expect your conversion to be done tommorow, lol, it takes us between 2 to 9 days to convert and fix each model, so we are going to be busy for quite a while on this collection.
