IMHO, we have a proof again what people are able to do in the seek of glorious comments and Hot 20 fame. Viscious circle. I really wish there is an unvote button. What else I can say,I am sick.

I felt free to post an appropriate comment under his "Three big fishes" :-) Seeing such things of just copying ones work and calling it his own makes me more than angry!

Its very simple There is here use one of the basic startfiles from Raimuraito and nothing change But i see more of this sort images with butterfly ,s and flowers A while back i saw my own FE "Golden Tree " from years back here on Rendo under a complete new artist name with sign and all etc etc Seems that some have fun to do that or are not creative enough to create her own work Greatz Arend

If anyone cares to check the site... you get sample files to play with... the program is a beta, and think the similarities is due to modification of the samples... and not just outright plagiarism... but go ahead and light torches if you wish till hearing from the artist involved...

Come on, it's a same-same render of the sample files.
Need more?

ARE NOT in the sample pack. If you look at the place where the copyright mark of Mr. Kamei was, at maud's images you can see a barbarian use of the erasure tool.
Let's stop fooling just because somebody is a "nice guy".

:-))) Ohhh ohh i say nothing more over this but i have very good eyes and i have Raimuraito on my harddisk so i know where i over talk For the sign your most read better my comment that where for my own" Golden Tree" that where upload under a another artist name complete with sign here on Rendo and not for the Raimuraito image Have a nice day and enjoy your art Arend

Believe the respectful manner to handle this would have been to instant messaged the moderator privately... with your suspicions and allow the mod to check out the suspicion and contact the artist to get both sides... instead of a public posting here, before the artist has had a chance to comment... Prefer being a nice guy, then making an accusation, that though perhaps not intended solely for malice, may not be the full case...

I've got it from here, thanks. Please inform either me or Barb, or any member of the Renderosity team in these cases first. This does not need to be publicized in this manner.
