Grafox Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Check out the Sirne model in the Jediknightii.net model section. It's a model of a female twilek. The so called author of this model clearly states in the readme that he made the model. But when I compare his to Spacemonkeys Aayla Secura model, they are the exact, I mean exact, same filesize. Title : Sirne Jedi Master E-Mail : Iemscifi@aol.com Mesh by : Nanodagiardino Textures by : Nanodagiardino.AND.SkinMan File Name : sirne.pk3 File Size : Date Released : 2002 I plea that a jediknigtii.net admin delete this model asap. And contact the author, Nanodagiardino (who I believe is a regular at these forums, isn't he?), and tell him to resubmit this as a skin. With the proper credits towards spacemonkey of course.

D.L. Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Try sending it to news@jediknightii.net or files@jediknightii.net It'd be faster and it wouldn't clog up the forums with pointless topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quamosity Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I think part of the problem would be the confusion jkii.net seems to have with their file databases and what exactly constitutes as a skin or a model. Obviously, this case is a confusion by jkii.net as well as the author himself. Perhaps its nothing more than that--confusion. I'm sure that guy is not trying to say he made the twi'lek model, but in fact the skin. I have seen several player skins in the model section when clearly that is something that should be fixed. There is a reason for 2 seperate categories, is there not? Models are 3d representations of different things. Skins are the textures that cover models. A model can have several skins, but if its overall 3d shape is changed, then it is no longer the same model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 And Grafox was right to think I would see this disturbing report. I have emailed the so-called maker of the Sirne Model, asking for an explanation. "I am getting word that this is actually a model by Spacemonkey, and that if you are claiming this is your model, I might have to take action as to get credit properly recognized. My information comes from reliable sources, so unless you claim its merely a skin OF the Spacemonkey Aalya Secura model, then I will have to take action. Andy867 JKII.Net File/News Master http://www.jediknightii.net LucasForums Moderator http://www.lucasforums.com So the matter is being investigated, and this issue will be resolved.

Twisted Vertex Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I would suggest we download the model, make it into a scene, where the character is lying beat up and battered against a wall. Then flood is email with it.....Think the little punk would get the message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteShdw Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 That's pretty weird, seeing that Nanodagiardino was a contributer to the original Aayla model. He did one of the custom skins for the official skinpack. I'm sure it's just a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgit Yoda Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Yeah I downloaded that model the other day. (maybe a weekago not sure). I just compared it's stats and stuff to Space Monkey's Aayla model and I'm pretty sure that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 The matter has been resolved, and the correct author of the skin has been posted. And the readme file, and category which the 'skin' should be in has been fixed. Glad to have it resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanodagiardino Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Glad it got fixed (the new readme still doesnt give the right credits to the right people, but thats not my problem anymore). Grafox please be more carefull with your topics next time and don't jump to conclusions too fast, you accused me of model stealing! A 10 minute investigation would have revealed the truth... How dumb did you think I was?? I contributed to the original model, spacemonkey is a friend, and I can skin better than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgit Yoda Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Well just to clear one last thing up, I didn't accuse you of doing it I jsut DLed it and said that it was the Aayla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
