That makes sence, and I like the idea.. sadly doesn't solve the problem of finding people's 3d warehouse url. looks like I'm going with a manual authentication based on linking our site to your 3d models and writing a perl script to pull the links to those models to our site. But I still have my ear close to the ground looking for a better alternative.
