Sorry about this, but we can't carry trademarked logos/packaging/etc on the site without permission from the brand owner - which isn't likely to be forthcoming unless they want to sponsor a competition or something for a UGC ad, which would be nice.

We'd be OK if the name were changed to something similar and the artwork in the same style but not the exact design.

It's a bummer, but the big guys are protective of their "brand image". The worst offenders are the likes of Nike who've trademarked the "swoop". It won't be long before someone trademarks a circle.

I guess the most puzzling part about this is that we're talking about models that are available for free by using software that is available for free. Why upload them here at all? If you find something nice, post a link to it and let others download it. Google wins, we win, and most importantly, this silly debate ends.]]> Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:37:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic928-uploaded-sets-and-3d-assets.aspx Message from jahnocli vince wrote:

It's all about interpretation. You could interpret this section of the Terms & Conditions as Google protecting itself against a rival setting up a similar service to Google Warehouse after ripping off some or all of its content. Obviously Google would want to protect itself against that.

But re-using this content in (overwhelmingly) hobbyist animations? This is absolutely no threat to Google's business model! But maybe a communication from Muvizu to Google seeking clarification would be a good move.]]> Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:17:14 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic928-uploaded-sets-and-3d-assets.aspx Message from pyrrho glasgowjim wrote:

This means that we have the right to download Google warehouse models, modify them and redistribute them as long as it isn't purely for creating a model database - so uploading models that we have used in videos should be fine.

Jim, the section in bold (my bold) is the relevant one here. We may not aggregate Warehouse models for redistribution - and making them available in bulk on our site would be doing just that. Yes, the odd item modified and used in a video, fine, but certainly not a frenzy (Mr D).

On a point of principle, though - and who has really read Google's Ts and Cs (or any, for that matter) - a user may upload to Google Warehouse because that is where they want their work to be displayed, they may not wish to have their creations displayed on a site that, unbeknown to us, they are uncomfortable with for whatever reason. We should ask permission, just on the principle of courtesy - also, it's nice to be asked, and always welcome to receive positive comments about your work.

Original work is just that, original work - and as far as possible we should avoid scouring Ts and Cs, which are there to protect the interests of large corporations more than those of the artists', and be rather more considerate to the little man's efforts than rapacious.

Spread a little love, Jim :-)

http://www.muvizu.com/3D/15156/Harrier - like this one you mean? - again isn't the point of the warehouse for users to upload models so that they can be used by others...surely providing a "nod" to the creator would mean no big deal....if this is the case though - then I would say that the 3d assests should be removed..as I doubt any there are "originals" - and anyway by providing the sets which contain the models - isn't that the same thing??? - I know for a fact my Queen stage does not contain anything "original" and is all made up from various bits from the google warehouse.....so on that basis that (and I am sure other things..like the Troggs studio) should be removed....
Perhaps someone needs to look into this more.

It's a request directed not at the Muvizu developers! EEK!

But at users like myself!!! EEK! EEK!

What I want is the people that have been uploading sets with custom content included, to upload the custom objects separately into the 3d assets section. There are some great objects hidden away in these sets, like the rocks in Jonbez's bridge set and the picket fence and car in ziggy72's living room set and it would be great to be able to access them without having to load the whole set each time.

What do you think folks? care to share the goods once more?

The team have considered adding an option to allow objects to intersect with each other - it hasn't been looked at properly yet (so we don't know if it can be done) but it is something that some of us (myself included) feel would make Muvizu a lot easier to use.

Copying characters only saves the prepared animations and customisations- the developers are looking at ways to allow users to copy their timelines too (which would also copy the animations and movement) but they are still swamped by the engine upgrade so it might be a while before it's done.

The video that made us think about the intersecting objects was actually a Tech Demo for Halo: Reach's map editor:

You are right there! - saying that it's not that easy to use either - I find trying to animate the characters very very slow, despite reducing the size of the stage - trying to add new objects ie lights etc results in "not enough space errors"...

If you right-click on one of the outside faces there should be an option called "hide" - if you hide an outside face you should be able to see inside the amps and delete the joins between them.

I think i am going to have to wait for this version before the full video is going to be worth doing - it's taking me too long to do anything and I am only on the start of the video!
Could I create/animate the characters in a blank set and then if copying these to the full set would they keep all properties? - I have tried it but am not convinced everything has saved.
Saying that I don't have a lot of time at the moment so I think I am going to wait for the next release before continuing - maybe someone else will have more luck!]]> Wed, 02 Mar 2011 10:38:16 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic928-uploaded-sets-and-3d-assets.aspx Message from glasgowjim Quoling wrote:

Bit of a dump down there, if that's what yer after. And the colours really would need to be redone on a lot of the objects to make them look a bit more normal.

Pete, that set looks pretty good - one thing that might make stuff a bit easier in future though:

If you are piling up custom objects (like the amps) you could do so in Sketchup and delete all of the internal joins. This would mean that you only need to import 1 object and could, potentially, cut down on memory use. This would only work on simple objects (like the rectangular amps).

Thanks Jim - I think I understand what you mean, copy the individual amp and then build it up in Sketchup before importing? -I did try that but it didn't seem to work - I will try it again - how do you delete the internal joins?]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2011 18:21:40 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic928-uploaded-sets-and-3d-assets.aspx Message from Dreeko glasgowjim wrote:
Dreeko - the art team are planning on releasing stuff in "packs" - the ones that have been put out at the moment are some medieval and Japanese themed objects, as well as some objects that Barry is going to use in his Jeraldo vids.

Take care,

Ah! Ok now we know. If you let us know what the up and coming asset packs are going to be then we coul have a bash at creating sets for them in advance yes?]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:07:20 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic928-uploaded-sets-and-3d-assets.aspx Message from glasgowjim

I'm sure it will be great but the good thing is that all sets can be tweaked/changed to suit the individuals taste
