Age Source Files
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2010 8:14 pm
I see some discussion of a Riven for iPhone and where and who has the sources files for the Riven models. As well as their formate and what is needed to convert them.
That brings up a question. As far as I know, which is not that far in this case, how are fan crated ages handling the source files? I mean the Blender, Photoshop, Gimp and similar files.
Are those archived?
Are the rights to them defined?
Are the uses they can be put to defined?
Consider. Those models can be used in Blue Mars and RealXtend now. Plus mesh handling is coming to the OS and SL grids, probably in early 2010.
In SL we are expecting a rush of new content to flood SL from Google's 3D Warehouse and other 3D model archives.
Does the community hide those files and only license them to select people?
Do the creators keep them and maintain control?
Will source files be lost as fans leave, vanish, crach computer... ?
