Quoting: Mountain ManSo I can make what is effectively a carbon copy of another 3D modeler's work and call it my own as long as I scale my model up or down?

More or less, provided you made it yourself. But also tweak some details to make it transformative.

I think there is some legal thing where it needs to be %10 different.

But it also comes down to what influenced the original model, is it really unique or just another copy of something else.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualMy personal belief is that this is not enough to constitute a derivative work...but I'm not sure how the courts saw it.

It's very hard to judge without actually reading through those two books and comparing it in it's full context rather then nit picking out similarities and base opinion on that.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualOut of curiosity, do you have an opinion on Tanya Grotter?

Yeah I don't know how original the Harry Potter books were or if they took ideas from other media (likely).

But those similarities seem mostly fine to me. It's very obvious Tanya is inspired by Harry Potter book series, almost in a mocking sort of way, lol (is it a parody?)

Quoting: Talon1024There is already clear-cut solid evidence of plaigiarism on the part of Pocketpair.

You seem to fail to even listen to what anyone is saying. Simply making something very similar is NOT illegal or grounds for massive legal pursuits, especially when those concepts were taken from games/media before it!

You are basically saying the idea of these models is OWNED by Nintendo/Pokemon, but they really aren't, and if they won a case on that basis, it would send shock-waves throughout the gaming industry because it would open a legal pandora's box.

In case its not blunt enough. You can't sue based on similarities to works of arts you stole the ideas from other games/media!

The people continuing to ignore this obvious fact or listen to reasoning have clear bias motive in play.

Honestly all creative arts are based off ideas previously thought up or done, its transformative arts afterall.

The issue is when it comes to DIRECT copying works. And this is where it gets grey because AI algorithms take works of arts and modifies them, but without the original authors works it has nothing, cannot come up with anything on its own.

This is not the case with humans, we can spin up crap without original concepts in our head, it just rarely happens.

So I don't think PalWorld can be sued for plagiarism! that would break the entire legal system and put us into a dark future where everyone gets sued by the big powerful companies.

But they can sue if they find a model that is a 1:1 copy of their works or has stolen assets, that is copyright infringement which has a place in the courts.

That is my 2 cents about it all. Sorry if I'm misinformed about something, just the way I understand it atm.

Quoting: Klauscarbon copies

NONE of them are carbon copies, some are quite close, but none are carbon copies from what I've seen. A simple vertices inspection would reveal that.

This was probably spurred up by Pokemon cultists frothing at the mount in anger on reddit who no doubt were hounding Nintendo and Pokemon company every 5minutes to sue/delete PalWorld!
