sigh ppl n their dammed copyright BS again >> u ppl are just a load of corporate wankas >>
Creating skins for any game is a form of art which contributes to culture like any other art form.
So thus copyright has no say in the matter. If you dont want ppl to use your creations then dont upload them nor share them with anyone else >>
Besides IF I want to re size an AK-47 to make a realistic AK skin then what the problem? Even if I do the said skin will require heavy editing in the end only retaining the basic shape.
IF anyone simply re sizes a skin with out editing & keeping the crap colors then that skin will look like shit & hardly anyone will use it.
arguing ownership of a reference photo or any other type of intellectual property or even using one while NOT claiming it as your own is at best hopeless, mindless & trivial banter >>
I'm not talking about reference pictures. Unless you didn't know, half the skins are either 1 minute paint works or "those kinds" of resizes. What you're talking about hardly even applies to skins. I can hardly call any of them works of art. And they aren't contributing to culture.
