High quality 3D electrical components library?

Does one exist?

One I created in SW. Looking for more of the standard stuff. Standard
passives and transistor packages, and possibly headers/connectors. Just
don't want to do it all myself ;/ The models, of course, need to be
mechanically accurate.

Not complete, but interesting....

Looks pretty cool.

Jon - there are some very reasonably priced PCB design packages out
there - you don't *have* to use SolidWorks.

SW is for the 3D and for simulating the mechanical properties of the board.

(Actually I am interested in what you are doing - I have SW and
design a lot of boards but I've never felt any urge to accurately
mechanically model a chip.)

Look at that eagle3D. Basically what I want to do. I might try it out. One
would think there would be a collection of 3D IC packages for all the common
stuff along with many other things. Maybe there is but I'm having a hard
time finding it.

I found this by accident, perhaps there are more models in SolidJerks
on the 3dcontentcentral site.

But I think POV Ray is a better solution for those visual people. Second
to pencil and paper.
