[?] Possible PR plagiarism, need your opinions - Dogbox

Hey guys,

I'm a dev-team member over at BlackHoleArts (BlackHole Arts | By Gamers, For Gamers).
We had one guy joining us a while ago who presented some of his older Bf2-modding pieces and as a PR player, some of the assets he showed seemed strangely familiar to me. Even though most of them don't match the overall visual quality of PRs assets, there are certain similarities that can't be denied, and I somehow suspect him of re-engineering and modifying PR or Bf2 content.

Here is a link to the original thread: View topic - Introducing me, Dogbox! ~ BlackHole Arts

These are some of the assets which are most likely to be rip-offs:

Looks like a building from PRs Asad Khal to me.

I don't know if these are partially vBf2 assets/models, but they look like PRs civilians/insurgents.

I'd like to hear your opinions on that matter. Are these really rip-offs from PR?

Best regards,

CoMa

Hey BigNaptizzle,

Yes a lot of that stuff dose certainly look like our work. While that building above you showed isn't from PR, it looks like some of our textures are used on it like that door texture, although thous textures came from [CG Textures] - Textures for 3D, graphic design and Photoshop! so not a big deal there.

However the following items certainly belong to PR, with slight modifications here and there, mainly to the skins but I can see that the main model/texture is from PR:

I wouldn't trust this guy (Dogbox) one bit as there is too much stuff that has defiantly came from PR, others are possible but not 100%.

EDIT: Also noticed we have had some problems in the past with this Dogbox guy.
