Or you do get but it's not useful.

Yeah we did get lucky. Part of the documents we already had but those from the museum included a couple of pages we were missing, and they contained a couple of small things we could use

 

[Ben O'Bro]

And most of the time even when you do ask, you don't get.

Caterham, Singer, Lotus, Bilstein...

 

[AccAkut]

Way better chance if its a smallish team. So far had info and contact on all my released cars.. which ofc is also a sorta legal permission.

Something tells me this isn't the place for that.

 

[AccAkut]

Don't think he will learn...were that Porsche model from? If you're skilled enough to do animation, why not make a legit scratch mod?

The model was free, off GrabCAD, I think.

So it can be uploaded to RD in the normal way I guess.

Id like to do it, however dont want it to be deleted as previous one because of snobs

*because of violating the rules of the place you uploded them to

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Could you explain please? I thought the 804 model came from GrabCAD, a free 3D model resource site. Is that not acceptable? Or are the physics (rather than the model) takes from 'elsewhere'?

He uploaded a ripped Subaru here previously...that’s the car he says the “snobs” removed.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Ah, okay, I understand now. Thanks for clarifying

Just because "a free" model is uploaded to the internet does not mean you can do anything with it. It could be uploaded as cc0 which means you can do anything with it including taking the model as is and putting it on sale in turbosquid for example. Or it could be released as free to use for personal use but not in commercial use. Or it can come with stipulations like you can use it for anything you want as long as you don't redistribute the model (make renders, use in cgi movie or bake textures using the model). And some license types require attribution so even if the model is free to whatever you want you need to say where it comes from.

In the end here ther are just two ways to figure this out exactly. Either the porsche f1 model has some kind of license disclaimer where you can download it so you must follow that. Or you contact the modeller and try to get a permission to be able to do something. I could not find the model in grabcad so I don't know what kind of license it is.

Quick search of "Porsche 804" resulted in this one:
https://grabcad.com/library/porsche-804

No info about the license in the non-registred-user view, maybe there is something in thier TOS.

 

[TonyBar]

thats what im talking about. nobody asked manufacturers if modders can recreate their cars and do what they want. double stadard

 

[aphidgod]

It's not about the law, it's about RD's rules, which are abundantly clear and not up for debate.

 

[TonyBar]

ok, its good you have principle. Just dont use that mods, and yout karma will be clean
