What about him?
Just because someone has the technical skill to model and rig something doesnt mean I'm supposed to give him a pass for taking someone else's design for the purpose of making money off it. Am I supposed to applaud the guy who makes a film based on a play he does not have the rights to just because he knows how to make a movie?
What about an artist that paints a picture of the San Giovanni Laterano Church in exact detail then sells it for thousands of dollars, or the metal smith who creates a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower and sells that for thousands of dollars.
The first artist didnt design the church, and the seconds didnt design the Eiffel Tower, yet this is normal and accepted the world over as original art. Just because we've moved from the physical world to the digital doesnt change the fact that a 3D artist is doing exactly the same thing.
