No offense to anyone but as a practical matter... this is folly :-) !!!
unless you plan on spending all of your time
scouring 3D content websites and freebie sections
$$$buying$$ and downloading every mesh that "looks"
Like yours.
and then opening it in a modeling program to find your
hidden mark before you can pubicly make the accusation
that its your stolen work.
and then what?? ask the site host to remove that pillbox
hat model from his server??.
Good luck there :-)
legal action??? OK here in the U.S.
its going to cost you big time$$$$ to hire
an attorney to go after the mesh thieves
based on some "encrypted vertices ".
much more than you will ever recover should you actually
win your case.
and this will have no effect on P2P networks (KAZZA etc.)
unless you want to install them ,and their spyware and risk downloading
and inspecting EVERY file that claims to be a 3D model.
