The games I'm asking a question about are the games TES3: Morrowind, TES4: Oblivion and TES5: Skyrim.(and their dlcs and plugins) If the answer varies from game to game, I would like to know all the answers.
In all three of these games Bethesda has provided a program that allows players to (relatively) easily create mods for the game, like the Creation Kit for Skyrim.
If a player were to create a completely new model, let's say...a new dragon, and this player would then make the model completely from scratch, including the animations,
sounds, textures and other things. (and the player doesn't use anything from the original dragons of Oblivion, Skyrim or Morrowind (I'm uncertain whether morrowind even has dragons
since I haven't played the game past the first village yet)) And the player would then proceed to use the creation kit (or any of the other official mod creation programs for
Oblivion or Morrowind)to put this model in any of the three games, would this model still belong to the creator of this model or would it become property of Bethesda or
anyone else? (Also, if you do use sounds from a creature made by Bethesda for your own model, would this change the answer?)
I hope my question was complete and clear enough and I thank you in advance for answering it. ^^
(If this is the wrong place to ask this question then I apologize. I also sent this same question to Zenimax but so far they haven't answered yet, so I'm hoping people could answer it on this forum.)
