Sure is, if you got a nice broad connection!
The Stanford University Scanning Repository:
http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/
It's in .ply format, so you'll need a converter for .obj etc. I used
http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
but I expect there's plenty of other options.
Nice selection of images, although I rather think my tetrahedron test render
looks a little out of place... :)

It's a "Hall of Fame" after all, right? So I think it shouldn't matter *what*
they're famous for: Technical "strength", artistic beauty, or whatever.
I'm definitely somewhat biased towards the technical side (because it's just the
kind of stuff I love), but with that in mind, I'd actually advocate to put more
emphasis on beauty and concept than I usually do myself :)

I personally find the b/w shot more fitting; so maybe they should *both* be
included.

The important thing is that 'outside' models were accepted.
That's *good* IMO. :)

Erm yes, Janet's a PoV Star for me. Prepared to try anything and work hard
to realise her goal, and usually succeeds.
(Damn, that sounded like a school report!) Lol! :)

Why so much pain?
http://jmsoler.free.fr/util/blenderfile/fr/povanim.htm
Povanim is the povray exporter listed in the Blender resources pages. It works
nicely enough and is able to export even internal Blender textures as
image_maps or radiosity settings. Comes with its own graphical interface
integrated in Blender. I used it once for getting a ply model of the Standford
bunny into povray, after some adjustments to the mesh in Blender.

Good point. I guess just because I hardly ever use Blender, so I got it into
Wings3D quickly, then dealt with it. Thanks for the tip though. Might have to
check that out sometime.

Technical aspect is important: it's 3d modeling, not simply generating a single 2-d
projection. Thus illusions like billboarding are less impressive to me. However,
there is elegance in simplicity, and I don't expect that an image, if "finished", is
less than a magnus opus. Of course, a magnus opus is also fine.
With this view, I like:
2: artfully done, effectively textured, nicely modeled
4: I love the texturing!!!
7: just captivating
11: brilliant rendition of a classic subject, and a claimed first image by the author!
12: amazing construction, and extremely well textured

Even so: I heard from other post that Wings3D comes with a ply importer, or
have I heard it wrong?

My version appears not to have this plugin, although there may be an external
plugin or additional plugins in the most recent version.
