Importing Maps from Other Games

Hello,

I was wondering if Unity3D was capable of importing maps and levels exported from games like the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Far-Cry. If so, what tools or plugins would allow for this?

 

Technical: You would need to write some importer inside of unity to be able to do this or find an external tool that can give you the map as a model file.

Legal: You do not own the the right to copy a map from any of the games ... so dont wast your time with it.

 

Hmm, as far as legal concerns, as long as I don't profit from anything done with those maps it shouldn't be an issue right? Also, If I were to import these maps as model files, would I still be able to work with them as I would any other terrain in unity?

 

It would likely be illegal regardless of if you profit from it, as those assets are copyrighted. IANAL so there may be fair use exceptions in the US if it was strictly educational, but in the US it's probably also a DMCA violation to extract the assets in the first place.
