Did you read the "Product License" and the "Standard Royalty Free License FAQ"? I think Erik or one of the Staff member like Dave would have to review it and check it against the CombatAce rules first.

Standard Royalty Free License

 

License Grant for transmission of Content from Seller to Member

For any transmission of Content from a Seller to another Member, whether the transmission was the result of a license or free download, the following terms apply unless more restrictive terms are specified in the area provided by TurboSquid for custom license terms:

1. Ownership.

Unless explicitly provided for in custom license terms set forth in the area provided by TurboSquid and which must be subject to acceptance by Member before or at the point of sale, the Seller retains, subject to any license agreement between the Seller and TurboSquid, copyright in Content purchased or downloaded by any Member via TurboSquid. In using the TurboSquid systems and Website, you agree that any additional EULA, license, custom license, or Seller requirements inserted into Seller products in any area outside that explicitly provided by TurboSquid are invalid, void ab initio, and without effect as they relate to those purchases.

2. Valid License.

(ii) As purchased by a game's creators as part of a game if the Content is contained inside a proprietary format and displays inside the game during play, but not for users to re-package as goods distributed or sold inside a virtual world.

(iii) As Content published within a book, poster, t-shirt or other item.

(iv) As part of a physical object such as a toy, doll, or model.

Member and their legal advisors should consider this and obtain such rights, if necessary, before purchasing, downloading or using any Content.

4. Rights Not Granted.

(b) selling, distributing, or licensing, whether For Sale or freely available for download, any static imagery which features Content as stock photography, or collection thereof, through an online stock photography/stock content clearinghouse website;

© any other distribution that would require a written grant of rights greater than that contained in paragraph 3 above. Member understands that all other rights or sub-divisions of rights generally included in copyright are excluded from this license and remain the property of Seller.

What it boils down to is if the 3D model can be formatted into a format that can't be re-engineered.  If TheWarrior contacts the maker and explains the situation and the modeller says its cool then there shouldn't be any issue with using a TurboSquid model.  Matter of fact the base model for the Super Hornet is from that site.

[TheWarrior 62]

Yes I had read the license fee. I was going attempt to contact the maker and get his ok. I just wanted to know if it looks like from the poly vertical count if the model will work before I enquie with the guy and buy it. If I do buy it...

[colmack 662]

I wouldn't go spend any money just yet.....I'm looking at my cfs2 model, it's a little worse for wear then the NC was when I got started with that .might have to rebuild the superstructure and what not...

[TheWarrior 62]

Cool. I stand buy then.
