Meriamus Wrote: Hmm Questor, I guess you're right --- Right or wrong is a moot point, I just thought you might want to look a bit closer at what you want to do in relation to the company and it's regulations. The funny thing about models like this is if (perhaps) you thought maybe other game owners might like them and loaded them up to freestuff, it would be more than game owners who download them. With the way things have been in the last 18 months they could end up anywhere from this store to another store somewhere else - with your name on it somewhere. Might not be healthy for you. :) Sorry if I seemed a tad heavy handed up there, that wasn't my intention. **** Pengy wrote loadsastuff: ----- Personal use I should imagine would be fine Pengy, it's the potential for redistribution that I thought Mariamus might need to investigate. It was the "need help to bone" that twigged, if you're altering mesh or changing textures, adding props there's not usually a need to bone anything. I've done the same thing with Counterstrike models and altered them for a "clown" mod a friend wrote. This didn't come over as an intention to write a mod, but rather to take them into Poser for other uses. Take Two are a 10.3 million dollar company and Max Payne is kind of a flagship for them at the mo, meaning they might be somewhat protective of it. My apologies if I implied something untoward and painted Mariamus for burning at the stake (far too much of that goes on around here). But, sometimes people do things with the best intentions and get themselves into a world of hurt. ***** odeathoflife wrote: well according to that statment he COULD do it but take 2 would own it ----- Yeah, that's pretty much how it read to me as well, indicating that they want total control over the goodies. This (to me anyway) implies strict protectionism and any other usage of the files/models may result in unpleasantness. Having seen the way some companies operate (Disney, Microsoft, Paramount, TSR, Games Workshop etc.) it seemed prudent to suggest caution. :)
