To my understanding, the rule does not allow general inspiration, so I guess get your inspiration from somewhere else. I blame myself for all the misunderstandings, not you I didn’t even read the copyright rule. Using the blueprints, images, or anything else the website has to offer as inspiration should be alrightĭirectly using the websites assets does infringe to copyright This will be my final input into this topic (continue in DMs if there are more concerns) ![]() Perhaps I’m using the term “inspiration” loosely: I mean directly basing off the floor plans but in different proportion instead of borrowing design elements of this house to create my own. ![]() I’d use the floor plans as the basis to make my own based off this, being in proportion to the roblox character. Exact designs- being a exact in real life replica- of the blueprints would be infringement if used unlicensed.Ĭopyright protection can be extend to general drawings and blueprints, preliminary plans, sections, elevations, floor plans, construction plans, rough models, models of internal support, models of external appearance, photomontages of the building against backdrops, computer-generated images of a design, and constructed buildings.The designs embodied in any of these types of works need not be capable of construction to be protected.īut, would it still be the same design if not in proportion to the actual blueprints? The general ideas and assets that compose the actual house are not subject to copyright- such as the roof’s projecting window, but the exact layout and composition is. My question is more with architectural copyright law in the united states, where these ideas are hosted. To use the floor plan assets directly (such as uploading to the roblox website) without permission would be infringing. I’m not looking to steal others images or assets from the website, specifically: floor plan graphics or photography of the building itself you are correct in that aspect of copyright. As long as you use no assets from the website’s graphics, plan images, and other properties, you should be fine. If you design the texture(s) itself however, you would be fine an idea is an idea. No, you wouldn’t be allowed to use the images. To use the plan images (publicly or privately) consent from the rightful owner is required.

Where the legal/copyright is important to you (read bold)Īll house plans listed on this site are protected by U.S. I feel as if there are too many layers to this question to get a concrete answer… So I assume you could see the actual floor plans as inspiration. I’d make the building in proportion to roblox characters with the increment given to me on the medium. (a)Pictorial Representations Permitted.- The copyright in an architectural work that has been constructed does not include the right to prevent the making, distributing, or public display of pictures, paintings, photographs, or other pictorial representations of the work, if the building in which the work is embodied is located in or ordinarily visible from a public place.Ĭonsidering this law and the fact its been depicted in a public place, given the public picture of the house on the website, a recreation of the building on roblox could in fact fall under “pictorial representation.” But I’m not entirely sure I have no legal certification.Īnd it could be argued that there could be no such thing as direct scaling to the real floor plans given roblox works in studs- not feet. Code § 120 - Scope of exclusive rights in architectural works The policy states “plan images” that cant be reproduced- which I believe refers to the graphics themselves given architectural copyright law gives protection under floor plans themselves which the website holds.ġ7 U.S.
