Free blender models

This post is a compilation of URL's to ten different blender model and rigs which are available on the internet and appear to the best of my knowledge to be released by their copyright owners under either a Creative Commons license or the Blender Artistic License. I've started to play around with them, and here is at least one way I intend to provide "attribution". I'll leave it as a game to the view to figure which is which.

This includes all parts of the mesh (body, mouth, eyes, etc.) and all shape keys. Acceptable use of Ludwig character includes school projects, demo reels, animation practice and contests (for example, 10 Second Club and elYsiun/BlenderArtists.org animation challenges). You do not need to credit me when using the Ludwig mesh in your own projects, but you may do so if you wish.
