Mmm, those animations look terribly familiar… I think we have a problem here…
You’re clearly reusing copyrighted content:
and it looks like you did the same with the wolf… i’m going to contact the Asset Store to have them look into that case.

Hello @PROTOFACTOR_Inc ,
yes i have looked your animations ONLY for REFERENCE and INSPIRATIONAL intention. I’m not using your assets and redistribute them. I’m just looking your animations as inspiration therefore recreate and stylize them.
Feel free to contact Asset Store about this situation but i think i have no problem with copyrighted content. All of the FBX files, Animations, Textures, Scenes, and Unity Package files created by me and Asset Store staff members will see it when they look at my raw package files. Actually, you can do same thing too! I’m not hiding anything!
If you don’t feel comfortable about this situation, all i can do is give you credit at my Package pages. Pointing out that i have looked your animations and use them as reference and inspiration.
Cheers,

No sorry, you have done more than that… It’s a shameless rip off… and yes I have contacted the asset store.
Me too!
just so you know, I just purchased YOUR bear. Brought it in 3ds max and check for differences. It’s now clear that it’s a complete rip off… Gosh man you’re shameless and have the audacity to state that you got inspired??? I’m going to take some screenshots. So basically what you did is set the new UVs to be planar top down, slide some animations in the timeline a bit (barely), try to rename the skeleton… you didn’t even rename the lower jaw bone… you left it to the end of queue de cheval1(ponytail in french): polyPerson_bear_cheval1 I use the 3ds max biped and my version is a french one… and I always use the ponytail as the jaw bone… Man, please, have the respect to admit it and move on… your stuff will be taken down for sure…
Here is a screenshot of a side by side comparison:
As you can see I selected your bear on the left ( name in the top right of the screen)…
another screenshot:
the top view… If you got inspired you got it sooooooo right that they look identical … lol
Waiting for apologies while I’m building the case and asking for a refund…
Man, what you did is just ugly, period!

so what will happen next is:
- assets infringing copyright will be taken down…
- if you had any customers, their money will be refunded
- your asset store publisher account could be banned
- your forum account could be banned as well… but nothing sure
Take your screenshots, build your case and send it to Asset Store Staff. If they take it down, it will; if they don’t, it won’t.
I’m already admitting that i have looked your assets for reference and inspirational intention. I had no bad intentions while creating my assets. All of my raw files comes from Cinema 4D and it’s clear in it’s metadata. I’m not hiding anything!
I have already took my screenshots, build a case and send my defense to the Asset Store Support just like you did.
so actually what will happen next is,
- We wait for their decision.
If they think my assets should be taken down, i will respect the decision.

Even the Animations are the same
Shame! Shame! Shame!!
If you are good, please make original content

they will do their own inspection… and yet you still can’t admit after those screenshots… bringing a fbx file in C4D or any other 3D package is easy, yo ucould have done it in max, maya etc…Man I just copy pasted the skinning info from “YOUR” bear to mine and it works seamlessly… lol What a joke.
Please, just apologize… this is ridiculous now…

I removed two of them from the Asset Store, both Wolf and Bear. I wanted to recreate them and stylized them while using your assets as reference.
I didn’t think i’m doing something wrong or copying your work. I had no bad intentions and i still don’t have any.
I respect your work and i apologize if i did something wrong to offend you.
I only sold few copies and i didn’t take my money from Unity. It is still in Unity Account and i will personally send a ticket to refund those few bucks.

You’re not apologizing for “COPYING” so basically you’re not apologizing… I totally demonstrated that you blatantly copy pasted and reused our content… everything is strictly identical besides the UVs. This is not inspiration… this is theft, sorry. I’m not offended this is not the first time something like that has happened on the store and won’t be the last unfortunately… If you were respecting our work you wouldn’t have done what you did in the first place… Now please try to move on , learn from that terrible mistake. Next time if you do that at least try to be smarter… or no, don’t do that ever again. Just try to learn how to create content, it takes time and then sell it.
Good luck with your life
Sorry but you blatantly stole this and that isn’t something we tolerate, own up and you’ll save damaging your reputation as a publisher any further

It think he totally ruined it already… He’s gonna have to come back with a new account and start from zero again. We publishers work our asses off to be able to live from what we create. It’s not something that happen just snapping your fingers… It takes time to build tools, a library of content, ambiances etc… But also takes a little bit of talent or a lot.
Work hard, don’t take any shortcuts. You always harvest the seed you planted…
I would agree with you, but you’d be surprised how people can make themselves look even worse when you think they can’t get any lower
