When copying goes too far
I like when people see my models and incorporate some of my ideas into their own. It's cool. I also look at other people's models and they often inspire me. What's not cool is pretending that ideas you got elsewhere are your own. And what's even less cool is copying somebody else's models and selling them and, when confronted, playing stupid. Case in point: this guy. The comparison shows nine examples of models that I designed that he copied and is actually selling via facebook as designs "he created". Credit where credit is due, the reverse engineering can't have been easy. That said, the bits where his models are different are usually the ones where he failed.
For the record: he is the owner of his images, but I claim fair use of them here to illustrate what he is doing.
