The DoD forums bannings were pants, indeed. Mucho pants. I have no idea why I'm saying pants, but I'll throw my tower of Mt. Dew cans at you if you ask. Vandori and Nomad were banned, I believe.
Didn't know Nomad was banned... he was my Fav modler... HE MADE MY FAVORITE GARAND <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
dood i mentioned the ip stuff to protect dirty_j and other like him from fox's wrath, its all very well you and countless others saying "oh just release we dont care" because it wont be you in court will it? itll be people like dirty_j. this is what happens in real life, not this fantasy world where you appear to live where nobody cares if you rip a model. big companys like fox love this crap, it makes them feel like there protecting their interests or something. i suggest you learn more about ip stuff before you comment further.
Dont worry guys, if he doesnt release them, ill probably convert the damned things myself. Fox be screwed. If they dont like it, theyll send a C&D before they sue anyone. They'll sue if you ignore the order.
lol <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> i just dont want a new mods community marred by court action crap in the first few weeks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
bleh doesnt matter anyways, i doubt i will ever recieve an email back from fox so ive started modelling something from scratch for you naggy people who insist on not doing conversions i found some good pics of a starcraft marine and i recieved my new copy of maya 4.5 and it made me want to model again so i started modelling it, its about a 4th of the way done and i expect it to be done within 4 or 5 days, but meh as of now it seems a lot more people know how to do what i did here and they dont really care for fox so i bet you will get conversions down the line somewhere, just not from me
so your making starcraft marines now dirty_j? **obscenity** man i need me some colonial marines for ns <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> when i think of a game with troops vs aliens, it always reminds me of one of my favourite movies "aliens" i know ns hasnt got colonial marines and stuff, and nothing against the ns team the models are fine in their own right, but i just like the look and general concept of "aliens" its what gets me in the mood so to speak. is anyone else working on a colonial marines pack for ns? if so please tell us, or ill have to make one myself.

Sincerely, name was here but i deleted
so there it is, i cant release, even though they responded to something completely retarted which i didnt even ask
Wow, that sucks... this is from Fox Interactive? That response seems so vague, like an automated response, not really from the Game Development company, but oh well. The banning of Nomad and other DoD modellers, skinners, etc. was way too much, but with that said I respect what Dirty_J did and I hope to see his future NS work soon!
BTW, I really hope someone makes some quality models showing similar characteristics to those Colonial Marines we all loved in <i>Aliens (II)</i> for NS.

I think they did not understand you, maybe they thought you want to make models for a mod like the Alien mod that was canceled, not to make custom models
Why are people so concerned about what other ppl think? 98% of what happens today you (the girl next to you, the gas station attendant, etc) wont remember tomorrow. That's a big secret of life. Worrying and querying about copyright issues in PERSONAL projects (like third party models for a 4 year old engine) is a waste of effort and stunts many a modeler's development. People work hard on things they are excited about. How many GOOD modelers give up because they cant find a good source model they enjoy working on, that isnt protected by some intangible legalese?
You are not making a MOD including thier models. You are converting thier models to be used by the public for no profit. It is not your game. Continue with the conversion brother and release them without hesitation.
Someone nees to take a tooth brush and clean the sand out of your **obscenity**. Why are you worrying about stupid "Copyright law" crap. Damn man. How are they gunna know you released them??? How are they gunna know which Half Life MOD you released them for. Unless you told them all of that, which I higly doubt. And if you did, you're just retarted. Stop being a B!tch and release them. or sum1 show me a tutorial on how to convert them from avp2 to Half Life. Ok, I am done here. Later. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->
