| Well... I may soon end my career of uploading weapons to DA after being discouraged from this particular message:
---------- Kn3chtRuprecht said the following:
Mate its pretty sad that you have to steal models from well known artists like Millenia. I recognized the texturing style of the Revolver at the moment i saw it, and it was pretty obvious that it made Millenia. I did further research and compared Mills release and yours and its obviously stolen. Take it down or Millenia will receive a nice message and a link. Also i think its not the only stolen model. Take all down, I will find stolen ones, trust me. And fucking learn to use Specular and Gloss maps the rendering of the Revolver looks horrible
And i just saw that you have ripped my Nambu Type 14. You gave Credit, thats ok, but in the future, write the Nicknames of the Artists in the description and mention that they should credit the Artist and not the publisher. Also i would ask the Artist first before publishing something.
-----------
Though I did not intend to steal any of the works I released, it can still be said that I had done such. Without actually asking permission to convert them... A wave of guilt has hit me like an impressive brick wall. I really don't know if I could release anything else without fear of receiving messages of theft or whatnot. I'm not a strong man when it comes to these things. I never have been. Well... I just thought I'd tell you all this. I've already contacted him, apologizing several times for the inconvenience and told him theft was not my intention and that I'll get around to fully crediting those who did not receive credit.
Irony...I had just realized that the man above was the owner of the Nambu 14 mod I had recently found, and strangely not even 10 hours later the said man complains to me via Note on Deviant Art.
Well... Huh. I guess I'll have to be 100 times more careful now when I'm on there.
Well, now that I got this off my chest, I gave you the community my grief, I don't feel so weighed down and useless. I feel much more relieved than I had ten minutes ago, and feeling better with each second.
Just saying... if the worst comes to Deviant Art....
DOWNLOAD. EVERYTHING. I. HAVE. For I may have to tear it down if the worst comes. I really hope it doesn't...but this also means I will likely no longer convert gun mods anymore...which kinda sucks. A LOT. But... Karma got me I guess? I dunno... either way, this situation seriously bit me in the ass. Hard.

| I suppose the best bet is to stick to private releases for now.
There is a core of us who could get them and anything new via e.mail by request. Never lose hope. | |

| I agree with ed you could also just ask for permission to convert them i personally don't see any harm in that. I must say though that part where he states that "Also i think its not the only stolen model. Take all down, I will find stolen ones, trust me" that really annoyed me but then again that's just me

| I agree, but at this point, there's not much that can be done. Scrutiny by the harshest of critics and all that crap... | |

----------- NEW DEVELOPMENT ----------- So apparently my message got through, and the guy isn't too bad after all: ---- Thanks for your understanding and sorry for my harsh language, but i constantly find my/other models in the web without proper credit and that makes me angry. I'd ask Millenia first if you are allowed to redistribute his models, i dont mind if mine are redistributed with proper credit, but other artists can see this different. Again sorry for my harsh language, you seem to be a nice guy.
Cheers!
---- Yeah I was going to do the Email thing, but after seeing this message I'm a little more confident. I really don't know how I'm going to contact Millenia, and to be honest I'm a tad nervous o.o I mean, according to my list, I've already had uploaded about five of his models into various packs, etc. And even Christopher J. Redfield on DA has a few of his models up already. I don't want to make Millenia hate me, from what I've seen he's a rather neat bloke and has an interesting sense of humor. Well, I'll have to get in touch with him somehow lol. | |

| Keep up the good work Damian! Like you said in future just be careful to try to find the original uploader and ask permission, speaking for myself I'm always flattered to be approached by someone wanting to share my work (doesn't happen too often lol) | |
