Absolutely! That is the point of the CGBackLot. You can use these assets in any manor with the exception of redistributing them. They may not be resold whether in whole or in part. Please see the License Agreement for more details.
All of our assets are saved in multiple formats. Characters are the most versatile assets in the CGBackLot and come with FBX and PSD files. The FBX format can be read by Maya, 3D Studio Max, XSI, and Lightwave. OBJ files are also provided but do not support every feature. Other assets, such as special effects, are not cross compatible. They are saved in a software specific format. You can view the metadata of each asset, prior to download, to see what formats and features are available.
Maybe, maybe not. Every company has a unique pipeline, and typically each production has its own set of requirements. We cannot guarantee that our assets will plug directly into your pipeline but you can modify them to accomondate what you need.
