Check the post above you, pretty much proof he definately took stuff from the dissidia texture. He probably just traced the UV maps then, with his custom mesh.
By the way, uh, koraz, you haven't been round here before have you? You know, with like a different account maybe?

This is still controversial? I thought the evidence was pretty clear. Even forgetting the textures, the vertices etc. were still practically the same. It was pretty evident that it was a rip 'smudged' to appear 'different enough'.

Still, that doesn't mean the entirety of Apz's work is to be chucked, nor that his fans should become too downhearted. Whatever he did this time, he's still given us a great deal.
 
@NCS
No, I don't have another account. But, I have browsed the forum off and on for several years, more frequently during the summer as I'm in college doing engineering... different kind of 3D modeling.
Edit:
I know there was a koral, but my name is actually just a password for me to remember for some other account (email, myspace, or something else). An anagram for zorak, from space ghost.

lol, I don't think she's coming back dude.
 
Now, the question is, will APZ actually log in and reply to this?

Maybe we could get some confirmation from the man himself, or maybe even a full confession of if it was ripped? Not for proof, but just for some credibility on his part.

EDIT: On the topic of being ripped, I just thought of this now, but look at how the eyes are in both textures, they are the same width and length. But on the model APZ's eyes look wider and more like the classic one. But if he wanted that and didn't rip it, why wouldn't he just make the eye texture the size he wants instead of stretching it out like that, that makes the pupils ovals and they don't look too good. Just another reason that It seems ripped.

Has he been contacted about this?

He never posted in completely unrelated or in the Team Avalanche forum, and he hadn't been active for a long time before all of this came out. No one has posted in his threads either, so he won't have received any email notifications. It's possible that he's completely oblivious to all of this furore.

that would be in the uvs, and is likely just a choice he made artisticly.

He posted, but his posts were purged by Halkun.

Wouldn't i have gotten an email notification for new posts in that thread? i only ever got one for it being removed.
 
Oh come on guys it's pretty damn ridiculous that some of you are still defending him and doubting if it is stolen or not - it's BLATANTLY obvious.
 
So, what would happen if Apz were to just modify this Cloud and remake some of those textures?  Would that model still be accepted, or will that still be a no-go?
 
If he replaced all the nicked parts with scratch-made ones then sure, but his reputation is certainly damaged..
 
We have another Cloud (and Barret) anyway. Also I just purged the download link for APZ Cloud.
 
does this mean the mods that use apz model will be removed as well? coz the apz model is in the remix patch so will remix patch be removed as well?
 
I'm pretty sure they're gonna have the creator of those mods do something about it...

Either way, I'd love to see him make scratch made ones regardless of a ruined reputation or not.  It does sound nice having matching models from TA, though...
 
Oh yeah what will happen with the Remix patch?? It uses the Apz Cloud model right? Will the patch be considered illegal too?

I'm sure Titeguy will be notified and he will promptly remove the model from his Patch
 
If he doesn't come on for a long while to fix it would that allow one of us to fix and relink the model. So long as parts discussed are remade from scratch. And we give ApZ credit for the original model.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing.  Let's just hope that if he doesn't work on it, he'll give someone the rights to...
