How does he know hes turning in work from tutorials, and/or cheating? If they are from tutorials it should be easy to prove this one way or another. Just not sure why your instructor would ask you for help if he knew for sure that the student was cheating, so perhaps it needs rephrasing until that is the case. Innocent…
Hey guys, think of this as "To Catch a Predator" :D I was recently emailed by one of my old instructors from school about a student that has been turning in work from other people / tutorials / free shiz and claiming it as their own in multiple classes. Does anyone recognize these images from any tutorial DVD or website? I…
if its anything its stock furniture, then following a rendering tutorial. I'd just ask the kid, maybe have a class speed modeling contest see how well he does.
Zpanzer: Sure that's how I learned rendering too, but the topic starter said he has handed in work done by other and used free models(shiz) and that's the problem, I don't mind him following a tutorial :)
I remember finding a student in my year was following this pretty bad kung-fu panda tutorial for a 3rd year modelling module. A bit of a WTF moment. I think he might have passed the year too.
Thing is, I don't even think this is cheating.. He might have followed a tutorial that introduced him into GI and just used the techniques learned there on this own scene... I know that's what I did back when I was learning the render software.
Looks like it would be a VRay or Mental Ray tutorial? Doesn't look familiar though. How do they know he's cheating if they can't prove it anyway? Besides, I wouldn't let it bother me, as said above he's only cheating himself.
I have to agree with Vik on this one. I feel like the circumstances surrounding this are way more delicate than just someone ripping off your work and then putting him on the stake. Considering no one even recognizes these pictures, and he very well could of just closely followed a tutorial.
I've never seen that image before, and I've been through nearly every V-Ray VIZ tutorial out there :P To be honest, it doesn't look that great, reminds me of some of the stuff I did 3 months in on my first year at 3d college denmark.. Not really hard to do, simple GI setup with next to no special material properties. This…
no offence but that image isn't all that wow, i'm sure 1st year students from the course i've taken should be able to reproduce something like that (at least the ones that payed attention) . If everything is modeled by him i wouldn't really see what's wrong with using a tutorial for the lighting part for example. If it…
