Re: Ripping Models for Animation Reel
right, I've been thinking of this many many times. I'm glad the SDK thread exists, so that I can download stuff anonymously - not having to prove myself to the artist whos work I made some shitty animation with.. I also think the whole "free publicity" think would be quite enough for people to jump on board with an… -
Re: Ripping Models for Animation Reel
I've seen plenty of reels with rips rigs. You just really have to be careful with it. Be very clear that you didnt work on the game with proper credit, kind of thing.

Re: Ripping Models for Animation Reel
I think i might have seen reels with characters that look like they come from games. If it's appropriate or not i don't know. I think it exist some game/games that allow you to use their content however you want or similar. Maybe ask a character artist if you could use their characters? -
Re: Ripping Models for Animation Reel
I wouldn't do it. There are so many free rigs of all different shapes out there that not only does it seem risky, it's just unnecessary. If you happen to be using maya, there are some great free rigs here http://www.animationbuffet.blogspot.ca/
