2 for u thieving off of Enayla

[Anouk]

Well, if they are indeed similair, they might have painted from the same source picture. I think they both handdraw.

I've compared both Ren's and Enayla's texture before, and I've noticed there are similiarities, though subtle. The overall torso for Enayla's and Ren's textures are different, but the arms and legs section are quite the same. Perhaps Enayla used Ren's textures merely as a base/guide for accuracy since if I'm not mistaken, 3d texturing is still something new for her. Or maybe the similiarities were just all some weird conincidence. Who knows  :?

What 2-for-u did was really low. There's nothing worse than profitting from someone's creation and going against his/her wishes. And I thought 2-for-u isn't that bad. Yeah I know, they do have donation sets, but they do make interesting meshes for free. Now it makes me wonder if their meshes are ripped off from some other creators too  :shock:

Just FYI you can't get to the donation pack in question (the october 2006)  At least, I can't.  It takes me to a "you agree" page then cycles back to the donation page list.

My guess is that both Ren and Enayla use Poser to "create" their textures.  The knees and collarbone are very, very Poser like.

I had that happen and I just clicked on the October 2006 again and it worked.

Skins all look the same to me anyway.

Enayla's been painting for years, She doesn't need to steal textures.  :roll:

I've used both and they are not the same IMO. They may have used the same source photo though. According to Hysterical Paroxysm, Ren used the photos here: http://www.3d.sk/

I think Ren was mistaken.

Much of Enalya's painted art comes from Poser renders.  People call her on it, she denies and disappears for a while.  It's a pattern.

I think lots of her stuff is beautiful but it gets ridiculous when she does the whole "I don't own Poser" dance and then doesn't bother to change the face of her source model.

[redisenchanted]

:shock:

Well, I hope you're wrong, but I have no way of knowing about Poser stuff. In any case, I don't think Enayla lifted Ren's textures, I do believe 2-for-U lifted Enayla's though.

[DiSparrow]

I use both Enayla and Ren skins... they are very similar, but if you look at any of Enayla's paintings you can actually see she is just making us sim skin versions of her paintings. Paintings she has been doing for years :rolls:
The 2 artists may have similar skins... but as some one that uses only those two brands of skin they look very different to me.

I didn't know about Rensims-Enaylas accusations, but in my thoughts, Enaylas very first skin sets posted at MTS2 were pretty much based in Louis. The colarbone is exactly the same.

I learnt to love and admire Enaylas digital art back my PSP times, and I was very surprised when I compared hers and Louis body skins.

I also think she used Simssis, the Glam Sims guy, eyebrows or eyebags shadows posted along a Sim at MTS2, as a base for hers. I don't think this is a sin though, however, she should have asked permission and posted the proper credits.

Funny, when you think she came from the digital art community were they are way too touchy concerning intelectual property... Some creators should remind that some players can open a suspect file in a graphics program make layers and compare them easily

[Pescado]

Who cares who ripped off who, really? I don't see why artistry always seems to end up as a faffy masturbatorium. Who really cares? In the end, it's about as relevant to me as central Asian rainfall patterns.

[Garnet]

Agreed.  They're pretty skins and look good in my game, which I play for my own entertainment.  I really don't give a damn where they came from.

But then, that's why I love downloading from the booty so much, too; it's just STUFF.  Just a bunch of pixels, and it amuses the hell out of me to see "creators" froth at the mouth over it.

What do you mean when you mentioned her art comes from Poser renders? Is it as in, her digital paintings were painted-on Poser pictures? That it wasn't completely hand-drawn from scratch at all? :shock: I've always admired her skill on how she could achieve almost photo-realistic art from scratch, and it'd be a hard blow for me to find out she relied on Poser instead :?

Also, where did the issue arise? Was it in CGTalk?

[Zii]

I've never seen a Poser render that hasn't come out looking terribly fake and stiff, so if Enayla's painting over them then she at least needs to be commended for being able to make it look more believable  :lol:
