ZELDA T. PRINCESS .3ds FREE MODELS

[Arachnido]

Hey everyone Im new around here and i have been lookin' model extraction posts... I realized that everyone talks 'bout the model that they could extract but... Im going to give all the models form the Zelda Twilight, I have them all with textures in .3ds format... If anyone want them just send a PM.... N' 4 the moderators: Im NOT going to ask for money...
They r all 4 free...

If anyone has models from resident evil I would be really happy if he or she can give me some

aren't 3D models from any game copyrighted?
And wouldn't that make it illegal to distribute?

 

[Doomulation]

Of course they are. It's illegal to extract, not to mention distribute them.

 

[best seclub]

Its legal as long as you own the actual game,you dont sell it and distribute it to those who own the actual game themselves too...

Nope, illegal aswell.
All models, maps, textures etc. are copyrighted by their creator.
If you know how you can extract them, look at them etc., you can do it for yourself. But you can't provide them.
That's it.

Dude, this is VERY old news. The Twilight Princess models have already been extracted by XxUnkownxX from Facepunch forums: IN 2007.

 

[thakis]

With tools developed on this forum, by the way

 

[MasterPhW]

Yeah, but that doesn't make them legally...

That's it.

How about using them to make pictures? Is that legal? (Free pictures for forums and such, not making money on anything)

No prob with that. It's called fan art.
But don't count on that, because I'm no lawyer.

 

[Fluesopp]

Ok.. Just so I'm sure before I make some renders for Zelda Universe...

 

[FlotsamX]

I'm pretty sure it IS. You are using illegal models to make things, so, therefore, it's illegal.

It's like saying a picture you painted with nitroglycerin is legal.

 

[Fluesopp]

Are the models illegal if I rip them myself and don't use them commercially?

 

[FlotsamX]

Yes, it's reverse engineering of a licensed game without consent from the game's creator. Of course, not many companies would nitpick about such a thing, but nonetheless, it IS illegal. Oh, and you're planning to use Garry's Mod with models? Well, here's something you might want to know:

Using models from bought Source engine games in Garry's Mod by automatic import (Garry's Mod can automatically import the game's files if detected): LEGAL

Using models ripped from GCF files on bought Source games: LEGAL

Using foreign models from ANY non-source licensed game, paid for or otherwise: ILLEGAL

 

[Fluesopp]

What's Gary's Mod?

 

[Driscol]

... i thought everyone knew.
its a physics program mostly.
but its used by silly people to make funny things.

Not exactly.

You see, Garry was explicitly asked to not create auto-import functions for games he did not ask permission from by Valve. All Valve games probably were probably given permission for, but games like SiN Episodes aren't included as auto-import, because he didn't ask for the permission.

Also, just because you can rip models from the GCF files doesn't mean you can. Some companies still don't want their assets to appear on programs other than that for which it was created. For example, all Gears of War models don't have an auto-permission to appear in Unreal Tournament 3, despite the fact that both games are made by Epic and both games are made in the same engine.

 

[Mega Mario DX]

Using models ripped from Games aren't illegal to use in your own game projects and use unless you're going to sell the actual game that you make with the models. For example, you make a PC Zelda clone in 3D Game Studio. You put it up for sale for $100. You're going to get sued by Nintendo.

 

[Fluesopp]

No. That's not true.
By using copyrighted material withouth the creators permission, you can be sued. But Nintendo won't care unless you get much attention. So as long as you don't release your game, that's fine with Nintendo. But when you release your game, be on lookout for Nintendo's lawers.

Actually it is perfectly legal to reverse engineer software for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and not for profit, making his renders for ZU perfectly legal. If you don't believe me look at your local Congressional library as most are available online.


EDIT:
It's called Digital Right Licensing you only have rights as a company to protect your software's code (model Loaders and such) NOT the actual art (which is why most artwork is not scrutinized by Lawyers)

EDIT2:
If someone Happens to recreate Zelda TP for PC and doesn't release it for profit then Nintendo only has rights to protect their Story.
messed up parallels but wth
