Great work, but I always considered the Import functionality will cause issues between users and Eagle Dynamics. Eagle Dynamics have openly stated they will take action against people who even so much as show a picture of official meshes that have been modified. I was so happy to have seen it discontinued in the tobi-be version (https://github.com/tobi-be/BlenderEdmExporter). |
Well I do it mainly for texturing and learning purposes to see how the master do his magic. I know there is another ways of obtaining the models. Also I think nobody will use a DCS model cause everyone would know is from them and they meet legal actions from DCS rightfully. |
Do not under estimate the stupidity of some people. ED stance followed immediately by someone trying to import... https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/150416-a-basic-unofficial-blender-edm-addon/?do=findComment&comment=3601087 |

In the end
In the end is true and human stupidity has no limits. but then again modding is not forbidden and MY GOAL ISN'T STEAL anything is to study and mod textures, I choose blender cause is a free program. BTW thanks for the inside. |

Just remember that this is public and you are providing something that others can use for other purposes. ;) |
That would be fair use. |
This is the legal stuff but the other is what it means for ED. Maybe they will make the edm files unaccessible like Sound or unit luas if there is a tool to "steal" them. |
There are another mean to do this without this piece of software, and that never have been and impediment to hackers or crackers. You have to be prepared that once you upload your model to internet it would be "extracted" some way or another, so as an digital artist you should charge for the use of your model upfront cause is your right to do so. And there are always ways to know if someone is using your model cause no one in this planet models exactly like other people. Some people may argue that doing a retopology of the model would do the trick but that's also no true cause doing that is like doing the model all over again and sometimes is several degree of complexity over than doing it from scratch. And if you manage to do it then you don't need to use anyone models :) you just use your own. So my point is why no??? As long as you keep it for yourself as fyyyy explained. Thanks for your time |

Why not providing an importer? ED wants to protect their property. Pretty understandable. If it is to easy to take the meshes similar to an unlocked car they will have to project it harder. They could encrypt the edm files like sound and luas. This would be very very bad for the whole modding community. It is obvious. |
First of all Eagle Dynamics is fully entitled to prosecute anyone using the models without they permission. And I'm 200% with them in that regard. But for the sake of the argument, did you see for example, Gaijin Entertainment causing too much ruckus over someone using their models ???? Of course no, cause everybody know that thous models are theirs. And nobody uses them other than the community for the sake of modding. They even provide tools to do it, not just export also import and free of charge; cause they know that by doing so they attract more peoples. So is a different approach to the issue. |
DRM doesn't work. |
If they go after me, they will have to send armed police officers to my home to drag me into court. Not even joking. Modern copyright law is bullshit, and it only exists to make rich people more money so they can buy another underage Thai sex slave. |
