#SCHOOL 3D BLENDER MODELS FREE DOWNLOAD ARCHIVE#
The Australian Museum shared their specimens archive storage for students to explore and learn more through these behind-the-scenes tours. Museums, archives, art galleries, and heritage and cultural sites uploaded tours of their facilities and archives for educational and preservation purposes in addition to sharing their archives and artifacts.
Educators encouraged students to upload and share their dimensional creative works as well, sharing between classes and across borders. Many educators were able to find 3D models from around the world to share with students through AR and VR. A petition on is inviting signatures to encourage Google to open source the Poly platform. They are demanding the archive be preserved and continue to be curated in some way. Many artists, creators, educators, researchers, developers, and historians have uploaded “irreplaceable” cultural artifacts to the service and consider it to be a “cultural museum” of 3D and VR history. As a 3D creation and viewer tool, students and educators are easily able to create low-poly objects with in-VR tools and share them with others, expanding the range of 3D objects available for education. We learned recently that Google Poly would be closing as of June 30, 2021.
