Re: Cobra Commander (Krake) Build...
Ok since im building this helmet I will let everybody know exactly what happened, When Crabra Comander originally wanted the helmet built he sent me a refrence photo of how he wanted the helmet to look which is the one similar to BlackKaos's file I guess (I personally have never seen BlackKaos file) I had already asked JTM if he could model the helmet for me to build for Crabra, I have proof of these conversations on my Facebook and even here that are well dated before Crabra even purchased BlackKaos file, anyways JTM made the file for me from the reference picture I had sent him, after the model was completed for me I then unfolded it and showed Crabra what I was going to build,( This is the part where BlackKaos is getting confussed)at this time after the helmet had already been modeled Crabra sent me a picture of the game version helmet and asked me if I could make the helmet look like that version and i said I would either have to have JTM model another file for me of that version or do some serious bondo sculpting on the old model, I sent Crabra that comparison shot of JTM's model and the game refrence photo to see the diffrences on what I will have to modify on the pep during the Bondo stages, so what BlackKaos is not understanding is the helmet was never modeled off the game helmet picture. I don't want Crabra Comander being blamed for passing a paid file to me all he did was explain to me how he wanted the helmet to look in the end when finished, I will not and do not plan to use any of BlackKaos's files for this build nor will I in the future, I understand that BlackKaos makes money for the files he produces so therefore Jtm nor I want to interfere with his income and its his right if he chooses to charge for files and protect them from being passed around, but unfortunatly the helmet is a simple helmet to model with limited refrence material so yes the two models will look similar, its just like an Ironman helmet made by several diffrent modelers, in the end they all look similar
So BlackKaos I don't want this turning into a blame war that we stole your work, I don't do things that way, I stepped into this build to correct problems that had been started by a now banned member on the forum, I feel bad for Crabra Comander because all he wants is a Finished suit and his thread has gone all to hell, I assure you Crabra did not send me your file, if you have problems with it please contact either myself or JTM if you must see what JTM used to model the helmet, and yes JTM's file is low poly I always have JTM make files for me with a low poly count because I just use the shape to work off and add the details later in the body work stage, Im sorry they look similar, I know that Crabra has someone building the armor parts for him also, I hope you don't go blaming him that he sent that guy your file also to copy whatever armor pieces you modeled, Those parts are being scrath built but im sure they will look similar to the models that you made because we are all using similar refrence pictures, please get your facts straight before you go onto a thread outright accusing someone of sta=ealing your work, I understand your concerns but this all could of been handled in a diffrent way
The pic I am posting is the refrence photo I sent to JTM to model the helmet with as you can see, in the end there really is not going to be much diffrences in yours or JTM version of the helmet, we did not use the game model helmet for a refrence that hemet was brought up after JTM had already modeled the helmet
Im sorry that this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion
This is the refrence picture we used
