Maybe if we ask Ace nicely he might let us upload them here.

I think we also need to set a poly limit of 100,000 polys per building, otherwise we wont be able to have many buildings per scene.

or maybe several different LODs?
there's no reason to load the full block if it'll be a mile away in the background

Sounds good.

Sounds interesting. I might be tempted to join in

I was wanting to do this at some point too. I might even have a few buildings already started, but I'll have to check though. Great idea!

I have uploaded an obj file for the tower and a man so you can get an idea of scale.

You will probably struggle to see the man, since hes a 2m tall box, and the tower is a 3000m tall box.

http://www.rcdyke.karoo.net/tower.zip

Remember you dont have to use the full height and width of the box, but you shouldnt exceed it.

FTP is not really a great solution for sharing files due to several reasons. What you really want is a version control system for collaboration such as a Subversion server or so. Really great in collab projects that are including people not in-house with access to LAN file-servers. Anyways, the project sounds really nice too, perhaps a small Wiki and some general guidelines can be laid down to get more efficiency out of it. If it's gonna be all open model (sort of a derivative of open source) then you might be able to hook it on something similar to sourceforge for open sharing systems. I wonder if there is a server solution for this already out there... time for some research =)

Rich just downloaded the tower, opens up fine, but I could not see the man for scale.

I've done a conversion to 3ds and moved the 2m block to the bottom for 3ds coordinate space.

Get it here
