Re: Ethical Question

I think it's fine to start brainstorming and learning the software before the season starts. I believe it is FIRST and Autodesk's intentions to let the teams learn the software by having the Safety Animation comeptition. Even if your team doesn't summit a safety animation, it is still OK to practice with the software. But I don't think it is ethical to finish an animation before the season starts. Howevever, to answer your question, I believe it is OK to use past models, maybe as background objects and not as an object of main focus.
