Let Staale buy the texture and then compare it to his, he will see that wendys texture is not his at all He is basing this assumption on a rendering I will post both textures side by side later this this evening in the forums The combination of textures, bump maps and reflection maps rendered can look completly diferent from a texture alone. To base such an assumption on only a render without making a texture to texture comparison is not right. BTW Wendy has been pulled from the store by renderosity but she is for sale on my own web site, and will be untill I get a court order to remove her. the thing is I KNOW how I made the texture, IT did NOT include Stale's texture in any way, shape or form. The renderosity team may very well have to answer for damages as well, because by playing juge and jury they have crossed the line. Other brokers do not handle issues like this in this manner, it would make them vulnerable to lawsuits, things like liability and punitive damages, and lawyer fees. Just because a render that has been image processed LOOKS LIKE another's texture, does not mean it is a copy of that texture. One must tred lightly here also, because if your assumptions are wrong, you may be LIABLE FOR DAMAGES that your assumptions and jumped to conclusions can cause. You should not make these assumptions unless you can prove it in a court of law beyond reasonable doubt.
