This seems a bit odd.

So some of our artists here found some of their artwork posted up by someone else. I'll preface this by saying this is apparently an artist that had access to our source models, one of our several places we used for outsourcing cinemats. I can understand he might think he did enough work to claim them as his own, but overlaying some grunge does not constitute free reign over someone else's art. Especially when I know how much work goes into creating some of the likenesses Ian did. And on top of it all, we are still awaiting permission to post our own art, and he gives no credit at all to TRI. He has been asked to remove them.

that's really crummy dude. especially the lack of credit to TRI. keep us posted because i've never been in a situation like that and i'd like to know how pro's like you dudes handle it.

on a side note; props to the original modelers. two ians? is that your guys' secret?

ah, that blows. probably a misunderstanding, or someone is just really trying to find a new job by stretching the truth.

that Ernie Hudson model looks great, hopefully it gets sorted out and proper credit is given.
