Although this is good advice, let's look at the reality of the situation: Point #2: Selling an "F-15" model will probably require a name change. My "Military Assault Helicopter" was originally called the "Apache Helicopter". When I uploaded it here, I was told that the word "Apache" was a trademark of Boeing Corporation and that I would not be allowed to use "Apache" as the name of my product (even though I never mentioned the word "Boeing" anywhere). And, as I have stated out before- you may be fully able to make a character from a book and upload it, but the real issue is whether Renderosity will allow it. You can argue all day long about how it's "free usage" or "fan art", but if Renderosity feels it's a copyright violation, the link to your item will be removed. The other point to consider is that somebody who thinks they've been ripped off or injured can still sue you, whether or not you think you're right, whether or not you think they have any rights in the matter. And this is a sad fact of American life. Even if someone sues you (and you know you're right), you will still have to spend thousands of dollars to hire an attorney to respond to the lawsuit. Sure, you may win in court, but you will have lost a lot of money. --John
