well...i think if ur just gonna put ur model in game, then using the skel that comes in the game is ok right??
anywho...ive never edited anyones model, i never will, if i cant make something myself then ill keep trying untill i can. and yes those two are talented, so are a lot of people. i do agree that ripping is wrong, i believe that people should have the right to say "thats all mine...no ones touched it". but i think realistically, no one will ever be able to do that, cos there will always be some know it all newb who will come along with a re-skin and say wooo yeah i totally improved the origional...which is kinda like insulting the origional maker themselves.
i guess what im saying is that the point of this thread isnt to say its wrong for them to ask no one to edit, or that people should/shouldnt be banned for it. i was just wandering if smo/azn are getting preferential treatment from all us other...um..."pure" artists.
and yes i know i reffered to other people as newbs when i still am one...
my bad. sorry
