I just got an Email saying I need to send my request to their corporate office in a letter.

Hmmm, things are getting complicate... I'd suggest you to take the model anyway and make your experiments. If there is a chance of using the model from lucasarts game in "our" SH4 without problems then send a letter and ask for permission. In fact is the RELEASE of your mod containing their model that might cause violation. If you test the procedure (extraction, conversion, insertion in sh4 and test) without publishing the mod, no problem

. Since it may not work properly, i think it's better not to waste time on asking for rights that may prove to be of no use.

Change the model by X% and don't sell it.

Not sure what the min change % is, but it shouldn't be hard.

I agree, Tater. This may be a solution.

Change something and make everything for free.

The thing is since I have no 3D modding experience, and I dont know how to get it to work in SHIV I was going to make it an open source/community project, anyone having experence could contribute and the mod could get finished quicker.

Yeap I believe that's the way to go...

I can help test it and maybe have a go on refining and/or changing the skin. I haven't tried that before but what the heck.... No 3d modelling experience though
