Oblivion to Fallout

[Sajus]

Somebody has probably already asked this question and given an answer but im gonna ask again anyway. Is it possible to use oblivion models and textures in fallout 3's GECK? I think it would be easy, but im probably missing something... not to mention the legality of it. Ideas?

Legally, taking any original Oblivion work (Bethesda models/resources) and using them is copyright infringement in some shape or form. Using modders' work would require getting their permission.

 

That said, the main problem is converting the .nifs to work with FO3-they're an older version. People keep hinting that there is a way, but nnone ever mentions how it's done. I have a couple of guesses but I won't say anything till A. I test them and B. till I make sure that it's not against forum rules to discuss it further.

We went through this a while back with people taking things from Morrowind and using them in Oblivion. It seems that there are legal reasons why Bethesda will not allow that to be done. Those same reasons are probably in effect for taking things from Oblivion and using them in Fallout3. If you want more detail PM me.

That makes sense. I would think as long as you owned both games you could do as you please, but, you would not be legally aloud to share your creations with the public, as it takes data from another game.
