[preview] MMD 2

carstena · 12th June 2006, 10:23

I'm working on a classic skin based on MMD3.

What do you think of it?
What things can be better?

Should i ask the author of MMD 3 for permision to use some of his graphics?

You should always ask before using someone elses images, but hasn't this already been done by the original author several times anyhow?

Recently updated for winamp5 and released under the NS skins account.

Nice skins.

Pipe down, they work fine, it's the cruddy database having one of it's hissy fits again.

Oke, it's done by the author already, but if you compare his skins and mine they look different..

So what do you think about it?

Mr Jones · 12th June 2006, 11:46

I still think you should contact the author to get his permission to re-use his graphics, it's not good practice to knock off ideas/graphics etc without asking first.

Just done that, I will only use 2 or 3 graphics so it's not much. All the other things will I make by myself.

If you don't hear back, just don't publish it. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing something like that if it's just for yourself. Is there Jones? I could be totally wrong on that.

Krock, there isn't anything wrong with stealing graphics if you don't publish it/claim that they're yours. I can't tell you how many skins I've modded/pilliaged for personal use.

carstena · 13th June 2006, 07:15

oke.. If I don't get permission I will not publish it.

But I still didn't get any reaction at my skin, do you like it, what do you wan't to see change?

Mr Jones · 13th June 2006, 07:21

I think MMD3 is overated somewhat, so the only reaction you'd get from me is probably a shrug of the shoulders, no offence, but if you have the talent to knock off MMD3, you have the talent to make something original as well.

As for contacting the original author, good luck, the guys over in the modern skin forums tried to contact him so they could update the original MMD3 to work better on WA5 and I don't think they ever managed to get a response from him directly.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.
