I understand completely the notion of not wanting your work copied (particularly if it's a design of large scale and immense detail, like ToiletseatPhilosophy's). That being said, it should only be at their discretion. lxf file to a public place to "share it", or let other people build/buy the design (particularly if it's a good one), that's a pretty admirable thing. I was more saying that I think that if a modelor would chose to upload the. I don't think Norrington was saying that it's right/should be allowed to steal peoples work In this post, the mention has nothing to do with permission, it assumes permission has been acquired, and is offered as free advice. For instance, if I build a Lego ship, using the “Build a Frigate Tutorial”, it should be part of my post, to mention Captain Green Hair and his tutorial. Never goes quite well with the kids who miss out, does it? Don’t turn your nose up at free advice, or attack the messenger, it’s poor form and only serves to alienate people who may have turned out to be amusing companions or useful colleges.Ī note about “credit, where credit is due”: When you find someone willing to share, use it, take full advantage of their assistance, but when the time comes to show off, or to profit from your work, be sure to acknowledge the help you had from those others’. Think about a class room of young children where one has a goodie or treat to share but just enough for one other classmate. If that request came over a privet message or e-mail, however, the answer may be very different. Say for instance you asked me, I’d defiantly say “no” in public, lest every one privy to the post want a share of their own. You may very well find someone willing to share with an individual, but not with the whole world. It shows a great deal more respect for the man (or lady) and their work to approach them personally and privately. I do suggest that if you want to make use of such models, that you appeal to their creators on an individual basis, rather than asking in such an indirect way as this. Though it’s not unheard of, it is unlikely to find someone who has put so much work into a personal project and is at the same time, willing to share it with the general public. At no point, did I suggest that any one’s work would or should be used without permission. I cannot conceive how I could have been kinder or more benevolent in my post. I grow weary of being vilified, for what people read between the lines here. I wasn't suggesting that ToiletseatPhilosophy's designs be taken without permission, it was merely an illustration of what LDD is capable of and the sort of thing that some designers could put up if they wished to. Some builders have offered their “.lfx” files for consideration, but I do stress “give credit, where credit is due.” Good luck and happy building. If you’re still looking for models to use as templates, search the MOC forum, for LDD entries. You have the internet at your fingertips along with the wealth of information available out there, as well as a knowledgeable and helpful community here. I can only encourage, anyone to learn, grow and do for themselves. There is little better for comprehension than the direct application of new information to task. If you truly take an interest, you’ll find that along the way you learn a lot, particularly if you venture out and do some research. Moreover, there’s something to be said for the gratification of having done the work yourself. Make a friend, rather than hoping, or expecting someone's prideful work of art, simply be tossed to the public domain. I think the solution here is to appeal to someone personally, and directly. Though I am humbled in comparison to "ToiletseatPhilosophy", I too have an extensive collection of LDD model ships, but understand, I made them for my own purposes and would be very displeased to find any one passing them off as their own, especially for the sake of a few color changes. Such models are painstaking projects, which the designers put their time, expertise and a great deal of effort into. Your gentleman "ToiletseatPhilosophy" has some very nice (and I really many, excellent) ships there, but I’m not sure how much he'd appreciate anyone butchering his works of art. Please understand that I offer this submission with real empathy and benevolence, however, It’s a tall order you place, if that's the sort of thing you'd like as a template.
