tekken characters

[jonnybefree]

Hi there,
does anyone know where to buy some 3d models of tekken characters by chance?

Do you mean the actual Tekken characters of the games? If they are available from any other source than the owners of the games (and its content) then I'd be very surprised because it would be a copyright/trademark violation

he. ja but i cannot image that there isn't one tekken nerd with 3d skills out there who modelled them all.

Ah yeah, I see there might be some free models available somewhere. But you said to buy them and that is where the copyright/trademark violation comes in Nobody other than the legal owner is allowed to sell them. Even freely sharing them is a slippery slope. It's more that the legal owners often condone the free distribution of their characters (it's kind of free advertising I suppose), rather than that it is legally allowed. Reproduction is usually prohibited, in any form or using any method.

Also, if you are going to use them in commercial works then you'd be in trouble. If it's for personal work then there's less of a problem.

Anyway, I'm just saying, since I don't know for what purpose you wanted to use the models. Trying to help, to make sure you know

I will be on the lookout for any Tekken models I might encounter. And if I do, I will let you know Did a quick search earlier but couldn't find any unfortunately, sorry.

I remember seeing a tool around which could take a 3d screenshot of any direct x game and export a model of all the geometry loaded in memory. Never got the chance to try it and for the life of me cannot find it on google.
Anyone know what i'm talking about?

Too bad it got cancelled. And I'm always happy to help. I'll stay on the lookout as well if I see anything of interest I'll let you know!!

Never heard of it but it does sound very interesting! I could really use a tool like that for personal usage!
I'll see what I can come up with
