well, with probably something close on 75-80% of the models from MeMod being on my computer, I think I can actually speak for the project as a whole.
those peices produced by the team are their property. Atti's work, for instance, or others, and I am lead to beleive from their comments that their contributions to MeMod will be withheld for use in Pheonix.
Otherwise, almost all of my personal content will be released over the coming months.
the peices I will not be releasing will be those which can be of value for other commercial projects - but that will generally be very little material, given the lack of such content as specular, bumpmapping, normal mapping, LOD and other considerations in the MW Meshes, all of which future projects do or are likely to contain...
Players should be able to expect the gondorian, rhovanion, and common weaponary sets to be released as MW nif files over the coming time, along with architectural work for Esgaroth, Fornost Erain, the watchtowers of Arnor, the Barrow-Downs and *possibly* the elven grey havens if I texture them.
Some of these peices the Pheonix project will likely be given first offer on use of, but I expect that their fantasy-based design ethos will mean that the design content will not be suitable for their project, as their design concept develops over coming months. even the peices already released should be a clear indication of the very different style compared to MeMod's vision.
However, in conjunction with Theta, (who can do more with dialogue than I could in a decade, yet alone all the other skills...) I'm currently working on a mod which will contain a good proportion of the MeMod meshes for architecture, equipment, "stuff" etc. the models will later be released as a seperate pack for use in any other game mods.
Possibly, future mods will release more of the content in a similar fashion, before a release of "model packs" for use.
However, it will not be an immediate job. I want to take my time, not be hassled over it, and ensure I'm happy with the content before release. nothing worse than finding a faulty texture too late.

Ok... So if I read that correctly, the models you made you WILL release. And, maybe if the other team members want to, they will release the own work as well? Hmmm... Ok, thats fine with me. I just really want to make MY mod, but it requires very "flexible" meshes. And, I am sure OTHER people want to make their own mods, but don't have meshes. Well, thanks!
