it looks like i can reassemble all the dark mater 1 models for use with agk using my 3d animation plugin (basic code functions).

am i allowed to reassemble the dark matter 1 collection and use it royalty free with agk using my own animated file format for my own projects?

You should probably contact them directly through support via thegamecreators.com
Looks cool though! I never ended up using dark matter, but this might get me to do it.

i took that off the store page so i must be good to go...

i wouldnt mind reassembling these models for others that have purchased dark matter 1 for use with agk. but the best way to do that is to send the files to tgc so they can include them when purchased.

@rick or paul... is it worth doing this? id do it for free just to get people using 3d with agk.

edit: maybe i can just make a video to show people how to do it.

well use blender which imports .x files or you can buy 3d studio max using for a month which cost 180$. 180 also pays 10 dollars for mudbox.

?what?

i dont think you understand.... my animation plugin does not use solid frame objects to flip threw...that was my early stuff. Now my code actually handles limb systems up to 20x limbs per object animated.

i was only mentioning that the models in darkmatter 1 work with agk once i convert them to my own file format. .ob2 is just an invented format for use with agk to be able to load limbed animated models in.

Hi,

If you convert the files, send them to TGC and then we could add the download to anyone who has a legal copy of Dark Matter 1.

You can use Dark Matter models in any creation you make, you just cannot sell them as a model pack. I don't mind you using a few to showcase your editor.

sweet! thanks rick! i will start converting the whole pack and email you the files.

i will use the swat guy for an example model only and also include a textfile/notice explaining that this model was from darkmatter 1 and needs to be purchased through tgc before using in any project.

i should have all the avatars converted by sometime next week and will submit them.... this will make it easy for anyone to use my animation editor and animation plugin for a real 3d game!
