this isnt a bout me... its just my opinion... every1 can model if u just overlay ur models with other ppls models
its the same with drawing, every1 can draw when they trace, but not every1 can draw freehand out of own mind.
and lemme tell you something about copyrights and autorrights.
An IDEA of something cant be protected with copyrights or autorsrights... its an idea, if an idea was copyrighted, than there would be only 1 goku, gogeta, vegeta, whatever model... no other models (i know this doesnt make sence but hang on
)
A layout... workingmethod, appearance etc: this CAN be protected with copyrights and autorsrights... cuz thats something unique
now, lets just imagine: smo made his goku, and he uses a modelling method unique to himself (wich it is, cuz smo is the only 1 i know with this modelling technique, xcept for u kreshi... if some1 shows me a model of smo, but he doesnt tell me smo made it.. well im 100% sure that ill know that smo made it..)
so, lets go on with imagining.. if smo, put autorsrights on his models (no copyright cuz funamation has the copyright of the ->2D<- layout of the dbz chars) so, smo ahs autorsrights.. and kreshi comes over here showing a model, wich used the same modelling method/technique... well kreshi would have been involved in a serious judicial conflict, and he will have to pay..
thus: smo hasnt got autorsrights on his style... so its legal for kreshi to make his models like that, and we cant ban him for that, nor warn him for that, but, that doesnt take away that i can have a personal grudge against him.. the thing i said about not able to model, was a personal statement, has nothing to do with me being moderator.. i wont warn him, close this thread whatever, just because i hate him cuz he discusts me with his modelling...
-----> k, this was a personal note, DO NOTA ATTACK ME FOR BEING A BAD MOD BECAUSE I PICK SIDES (because i dont, if i did i would have warned kreshi instead of smo) <-----
all clear? k
now from moderating point of view: stop going offtopic and start critting/commenting the model again (WITHOUT FLAMES, or feel my wrath)
and zeldalink, the fact that im belgian has nothing to do with this, so stop cramping out this useless crap
