Yeah, how do you know when using someone else's character is legal or not? If Sega had no problem with a Sonic Quake 3 model which was also ported over for use in Elite Force (and I love to use it in Elite Force), how can you know when or if other companies will care about doing it?

Getting permission would be the best thing, if you could do that. Besides it would be good for Epic. It would show that people like to play as Jazz still and it makes their Unreal franchise more interesting to use. It's free advertising for Jazz if you think about it.

Well I don't really know how it works. All I can say is if you are going to do it, please really study Jazz in 3D. Look at him from the 3D bonus stages from Jazz 1, look at a lot of his sketches. Maybe draw him in 3D first (front, side, 3/4, back), and then model based on that. This would be really cool. If it would be made for Elite Force (or someone can convert it) I would be able to use it too then.
