cxiao1 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 @Milton So I need to contact Universal Studios for license? What about the developer of the Hill Valley? I think the company who develops the Hill Valley scene in Babylon.js is Enozone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryme8 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 are you looking to get that specific scene, or would one made by and artist for you be more ideal? If so PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Well, I guess Universal allows people to use the imagery for non commercial use. Enozone could sell you everything but the Hill Valley / BTTF textures... And even if they 'licensed' them, you wouldn't be allowed to use them.

cxiao1 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 @Pryme8 I'm currently developing a 3D game, and I need a 3D scene that is as bright and open as the Hill Valley scene. I use Babylon.js and Node.js. So babylon file format is preferred, but obj file format is also acceptable. Do you have any suggestions that where I can purchase scenes like the Hill Valley scene? Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxiao1 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 @Milton So in another word, Enozone can sell me the scene as long as there are no signs of Hill Valley or Back to the Future in the scene. Is it correct? I already sent Enozone an email asking for the license purchase on last Friday, however, still no reply yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 it's licenced for sure, it's not something easy to reproduce, the question is : Can states in PhserJS be represented as different periodes of Hill Valley and what is the knowledge of a developper on the question to be sure to not be wrong like when you take a look at it there is no games, it means that it's before the second movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Correct. You'll need a good artist to replace all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxiao1 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 @Milton I manually covered up all the signs in the Hill Valley scene that says anything related to the Back to the Future, even though the cover up don't look very pretty. Is it good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 This is a legal gray area. The point is that you must not try to make money by using the BTTF brand. If it means extra sales for you because players recognize BTTF, you could have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it good enough? depends on if you want to monetize it, if so then no... universal might sue you or send you a cease and desist. I would recommend just hiring an artist and doing it that way it would cost way less then leasing the rights to back to the future. If you are looking to hire someone like I said you can PM me, and we can get you a product your happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
