Hi all

Is this considered improper?
Downloading a freeware model  from this site (or any other freeware site). Load that model into gmax and study it?
I do not mean use any part of it. Only to study how it was created, etc?
Can a freeware model be changed, such as more detailed VC, etc? Only for practice, of course.

I understand no one should use anything from someone else's work and claim it as their own. That is certainly a no-no. So I would never try to offer any piece of someone else's work. My concerns have nothing to do with releasing of another's works, modified or not. Unless the designer allows it.

I believe it would be helpful to see a complete model in gmax and to be able to look at it's design closely.

I am only interested in using a model to help me learn from. I just don't know how the community feels about doing such.

Ok thanks

I had not tried, I was playing around with the tutorials and thought;

I wanted to ask first. I hope to get into the add-on scene sometime, so I wanted to make sure I followed proper etiquette

It is good to know they are so well protected.

Thanks Felix

I will check into them. I think they might be very helpful.

Hi
Thanks.
I am interested in everything right now, lol.
Actually a big complex plane is something that must hold many areas of valuable information. I'm sure it is way over my head at this point, but I imagine I will pick up some good clues about things from one. I will give it a look this weekend.
