How close to "realism" can I get with my KSP models.

[James Bacon]

I'm creating an animation and are making my own models. Am I allowed to make them 1:1 to the game. Every KSP Animation on YouTube uses kerbal models that look NOTHING like Kerbals. So I was wondering if it's legal.

Thanks.

What will you do with the animation?

[James Bacon]

I didn't make that clear, sorry.

A short film/series(if I'm allowed to do the animation) in KSP style.

Like what Nassault does but not machinima. Animated in Maya.

And I'd just upload it to YouTube.

Yes, so long as it's used for non-commercial purposes you can create and share fanart, including animations

I uploaded a gameplay video to Youtube. Is it okay for me to monetize it?

Yes, by all means. If you are having many views and want to seize the opportunity, go ahead. We just ask to be given credit, a mention and a link to our website is enough. You must also make it perfectly clear that we are the copyright holders of KSP.
