I'm posting in here as many folks seem to know about copyright amongst the Poser community, due to merchandizing and such like, hope you can help :) I've made 3d models of ships based on a a fantasy game setting (Spelljammer for Dungeouns and Dragons, which is no longer an "active" setting but does have a fan base and official website with the ships designs in 2D). The models are not exact copies , about 90%, with my own texturing. I put the models on my site for dowload, free, no commercial useage, and read me explains they are based on the game setting and that the game setting is copyright of the respective company. Am I ok in regards to copyright, as I don't want to cause any problems or get into any. I don't know how copyright applies in this case, like if oyu made a .3ds model of a Lambourghini, would that actually infinge copyright of the car's manufacturers??
