weird how they can get top surfaces 2 different directions, right… these losers will game the system any chance they get. All models same odd patterned layers, need reported

They must have the new flagship printer already. Multiple toolheads hitting it from a bunch of directions at once.

That’s crazy. I heard the new flagship will be able to make me a sandwich and do my taxes at the same time.

LOL.
This temporary drop in rewards sure isn’t popular. Even gamers join in to protest. I think this is to send MW a message that the current reward isn’t worth spending more time to properly fake the print lines.

render software allows the choice of material, among the materials to be chosen there is also the material of 3D printing. Clearly this is a render that came out badly

You’re right but it’s a render, and renders are allowed by the rules. as long as among the published photos there is also one of the real object.

Apart from whether it is a render or not, the problem is that if you do a search for the image on Google Lens you will find the original author of the design.

Hunting down a fake designer is the easiest thing in the world nowadays, so much AI and so much ■■■■ and yet the 3D market is full of rat children cashing in.

The original author of the STL file scanned those same figures, you can see the photos in his publication. UP
Well… what can I say… even just a copy of a copy… 
… and he wants even more money than the finished ceramic costs:joy:
The only thing I would be interested in… what kind of 3D scanner does he use?
I’m sure there will be a very good scanner, because in the 3D model you can see the slightest imperfections of the original piece.
Yes, I’m sure of that too, but that’s why I’d be interested to know exactly which 3D scanner was used, just because the scans are so good…
This he told me, it also says that the design was not stolen, that maybe they scanned the same figure.
EzzySziggy; I use 2 , einscan for larger models and a revopoint mini for smaller models , and I sculpt a lot to from scratch with z-brush (also use zbrush for clean-up and detailing scans)

And that’s how the world works, the truth is it’s very sad but people like that can’t imagine the damage they do to designers.
And that is why I think that not only here, but in all 3D repositories that whether it is money or discount vouchers or any type of benefit, all publications should be reviewed.

I’m feeling frustrated because I established a top-rated profile for printing transparent filament back in October last year, yet another user recently emerged and swiftly surpassed my likes and collections count (pretty much doubled), in less than 25 days. I’m confused by how they achieved such rapid success; it feels suspicious to achieve those numbers in such a short period of time…
Looking at their commenters I’m not even sure a lot of them are legit people. But I have no way of telling if they are abusing the system or just randomly got lucky and blew past all of the transparent created profiles. It really makes me second guess trying to keep designing and creating always seeing this kind of thing.

I have been designing for years, I really like it, but in the last 2 years perhaps a little more, the theft of designs is absurdly exaggerated.
And more so on websites like this where control, from what I see, is non-existent.
A friend told me about this website and told me that the designs I have “out of niche” that I should publish them and that’s what I did, but I don’t share any of my almost 300 character designs, because it’s a matter of days to see them everywhere with non-existent remixes and Seeing how people benefit from your work without doing anything.

Direct from the “I don’t have to print it” mindset. Models are nice, rendered pictures are fantastic, but this is becoming a dumping ground for graphic artists with no work.
