I have also found a free 3d model on that site.
But i need some help on how to get it ingame with the all the needed processes..

And yeah, the creator gives it out for free.

But i think those models might have to much poly's or to much detailed?
Dont have much of a clue about moddels and stuff, only followed conversations on the forum.

fixed your title for you.

The "Free" ones are always the really **** models that you can't use ingame because they are so badly made you will be spending more time fixing the model than you would just crating a new one.

No thanks.

ah c'mon lets keep friendly lol

I'm just telling it as it is before someone starts thinking they can use them as a shortcut...

From the website under each of the pictures of the models, the "do not redistribute" bit basically cuts out any chance of using the model in PR. They could be used for research purpose for making better models but most free models are pretty **** in that department anyway. It is important to differentiate between "free as in beer" and "free as in speech", and with all of these models it appears that the copyright remains with the author.

Copyright has a fair use clause iirc and I think this would fall under that.

Fair use is an overused excuse. A friend of mine tried to argue that pirating Windows 7 was fair use as it was for "educational purposes" .

Anyhow, I think this thread is largely irrelevant as the models, though free, are unsuitable in design for the BF2 engine. In the BF2 engine, you have to do different meshes, etc. These models, while free, are a waste of time, unfortunately.
