No, he originally claimed that this was HIS work, that is what I have a problem with. And he's still defending himself.

What work? The work here is from other people, myself included. Other than chopping up a commercial texture, there was no "work" involved here. Certainly nothing original.

YOU DIDN'T MAKE THE HEAD! It's been pieced together from the HL2 texture!
The texture is almost ENTIRELY the HL2 texture, there's no 2 ways around it. Every visible part on the model has been pieced together from this texture. And the few tiny parts that AREN'T are from Jonathan's texture. There is NOTHING original with the texture, simply dabbing a few dark spots to simulate bullet holes doesn't count for anything in my book.
Editing free models is fine, taking credit for others work isn't fine. If he would have been up front about it from the beginning it would have been a whole different story.
Good luck getting it FPSC-ready, but I don't want anything to do with it at this point.
It's nice Jonathan is being so understanding, I certainly wouldn't have been so nice about it. If someone wouldn't have called Zizaco's bluff he'd still be claiming it was his own model...
