How many models in total in 3D warehouse?
-
Does anyone know how many models there are in total in the 3D warehouse?
My guess is somewhere between 30,000 - 40,000...
thanks!

there are 73, 000 models called 'untitled'. Im guessing total number of models is well in to the hundereds of thousands, perhaps even millions.

Not to much...
But it's all a metter of perspective...
Don't know...lot's of people put thair first beginer model and thay are not skiled with SU...so thair model are not with to good quality...I seen a prety amazing model on 3DWH,I'll never be able to make good model as some modeler there...but lot's of people upload a crap so I lost intrest to put my model.I deleted a lot's of my model...didn't have to big collection...but thay are off. -
I started playing with SU about a year ago and downloaded some models from 3D warehouse. Now I've decided to use SU to create images for an autobiographical video that I'm producing. I'll be putting the finished video on YouTube and other video-sharing sites (no commercial ties of any sort will be involved unless the sites add their own advertising without my consent). I'd like to use some of the models that I previously downloaded that have been incorporated into my own SU creations, but I am unaware of how to contact the creator of those models so that I can ask permission to use their work. Is it legal AND ETHICAL to use downloads from 3D warehouse without getting specific permission from the person who uploaded the models?

Hi LReavis,
This is what Gogle sayís about the usage of the 3D WH content in the TOS (Section 4 > "Your rights"):
[list:1p1iwmxq]*"...By submitting, posting or displaying Content through the 3D Warehouse, you grant Google and its end users a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual license to exercise the rights in the Content, as stated below:
*** to reproduce the Content;

1p1iwmxq]
Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, Google reserves, and you grant Google, the right to syndicate Content submitted, posted or displayed by you on or through the 3D Warehouse and use that Content in connection with any of the services offered by Google. Notwithstanding the above, end users may not aggregate the Content obtained from the 3D Warehouse for redistribution, and may not use or distribute Content obtained from the 3D Warehouse in a mapping or geographic application or service without Google’s prior authorization."*
So you are free to use any content from the WH to create your "artwork" (so to say) - you are only not allowed to create collections stored and distributed elsewhere.

thanks so much for the quick response. I'd read Google's T&C, and it seemed likely to me that downloading & using might be legal; but it wasn't clear to me that it was ETHICAL to use others' creations. I gather that members who upload their work to the 3D Warehouse have the understanding that these are the accepted rules of the game.
Thanks again, Larry Reavis

Larry, you can always give credits to the members who you "borrowed" the material from... That's always a neat (and quite popular) way of dealing with this.
