Hi everyone, I approached a 3d modeler months ago to partner up by me paying a portion and a percentage of every Marvel related piece I'd make from his 3d file, and then proceeded to send him several images as they were releasing them online after he agreed. He'd always say that he was busy with stuff when I asked him about progress, so I was very surprised right now when I found a thread where he's selling that piece, presumably made with the help of my research.
I was wondering if I should contact the moderators since at the end of the day no money was involved, but it's more of the sense of honor that we have once we do some research and find a particular piece we think will be of the community's interest, do more research to get the pics from all the angles and then your partner taking that and using it for their profit. It might just be me but one of my leather pieces couldn't have been made without the footage that a fellow member posted for everyone to see, so when he was interested on buying it I made sure he had a discount as a way of saying thanks, even if it was something he made public for everyone and not just for me, because I believe we're a community and we should give credit where credit is due.
Anyway, I just wanted to know your opinions on the matter. I don't know if this is the right place to put it, but it was a Marvel piece and usually the recasting warning threads and similar topics are posted here. I know I'm being vague, but if I'm wrong and the modeler had every right to put it, I wouldn't want to give any bad rep to him or his work.
