Based only on my quick comparison that I posted in the other thread (How Are These One in the Same?), it was already plain as day to see they are two completely different builds. Willy's confirmation that the two have no texture-mapping in common, only seals that conclusion (thank you Willy!).
To fully understand just
how much work, or 'rework' would have needed to occur, to transfer from the Icarus production to the freeware production - there is just no way that happened. Even if you study the lines of the bottom of the main float, or even the vertical tail fin, perhaps the easiest parts to 'get away with', the amount of faces/splines/what-have-you, are completely different, and make two different shapes between the two, one depicting the original design in higher fidelity above the other. No aspects of the modeled mesh nor the textured mesh have anything in common at all.
Next thing will be Charmin TP accusing Scott paper of copying their Toilet tissue (white paper on a roll)or Firestone Tire makes a black round tire that Goodyear makes (black and round).
I can take sugar and water and a little red food cloring and make humming bird juice
so do the commerical people. Both attract hummingbirds but the one I made was free.
Does the commerical brand have a right to tell me to stop making my own humming bird juice, I don't think so. Where does it end? In todays world, of "me first" it's all about those almight Benjamins.
I tithe (three figures) every Sunday to my church and thank God for my job. I get that Sunday sermon from
my Pastor on parables and being kind to my fellow man, come Monday morning, it's all about stepping on each other toes.
Do ya follow the logic here?
