Depends on the origin of the actual model. If it is from scratch than it is no more an infringement than selling a photograph of a VX is - i.e. not at all.

Who said anything about free???
As to copyright if he made it it's his.
I appreciate the amonut of time it takes to model this stuff.
I guess you were a LITTLE QUICK OFF THE MARK WITH THAT RETORT.
The word 'FREE' never hit the page...

Ah, but the scans came from the Tamiya model assembly instructions, right?

[WormGod]

Well, there are clauses in selling such artwork. I can sell the model, renders, etc. In fact, I could buy the model from a 3d scanning company and turn around and use it in a game, and still sell it (not the actual model). This I know, because I have made car racing games (IHRA, Burnout, etc).

Thing is, I WONT sell it. I am doing this for the VX community and because quite frankly, it's fun.

It is NOT an easy mesh to build either. I have modeled near 100 cars in my life, and the VX is by far, the hardest. I have a full side view (which I will render and post), but there is much more work to be done. The hardest part is yet to come. It would be great to have access to a 3d laser scanner so I could just put in a built tamiya model and then just do some cleanup work.

Updated WIP....

Man, that is too cool! Thanks for the hard work.

[Cyrk]

Yes too Cool... Thanks!

Does the chick on the second monitor come with the VX too?

[WormGod]

Heh, unfortunately, the chick will have to be purchased from Squaresoft. My dual monitor setup does a print screen shot all spread like that and I was too lazy to crop everything down.

Won't be touching the model this weekend. Got a big, long wedding to attend today/tonight and then football all day tomorrow. Gotta watch the skins crush Philly.

Anyone who is interested, Maya is giving away a free copy of their Personal Learning Edition software. I'm not sure how fully capable this version is, but is says it allows you to use the full capabilities of Maya Complete in a non-commercial manner:

...Keep up the good work

[WormGod]

It's slow going but it's getting there. The curves on this SOB are so damned hard to get right, but I will have them as close as I can get them. The dimensions are as good as the Tamiya model, so if that is correct, this thing will be as perfect as can be.
