I would like to know if it was possible to take "Total War : Warhammer" armors, weapons, beards etc.. files and use them in RoR ? I suppose there is copyrights but GW let RoR Server live so it might be possible ?

I made this character ...
And i can tell you this: it is absolutly not possible to do it. Creative Assembly and Games Workshop would shut down RoR immediatly.
And btw, it's not the same shadding technology. WarTW is using PBR shaders, and RoR is using an old method, it would take so many times to convert them.

Woaw, nice job, Byrrnoth is awesome and thanks for the details !

We will not even consider that.

That's notwithstanding the technical restrictions that Novgoroth already pointed out. This engine ain't built to handle modern shading techniques and performs badly enough as it is.

Thanks for the answer.

Never said there was anything odd about it; it'd actually make sense to re-use art designs from AoR to be used in W:TW, which is what I assume actually happened. To say both games have the same source, that much is evident. However, I've never seen AoR's armor/weapon designs outside that game itself, whereas W:TW includes some identical designs, 8 years later, in a similar Warhammer setting. Just seems a little too coincidental.

Spoiler:

that design made me shiver

make a little diffrence to the armor would solve the copyright issue, the question is, are there any blender devs ?

No, because that makes it what we call a derivative work.

Locked.
