This is a general heads up and I’d appreciate it if you would share it far and wide.
It’s come to my attention that revamprigging.com has set up a business selling stolen tools - specifically the facial auto rig system built by my friend and colleague Mohammed Zafarian https://perseusrigging.com
Revamp rigging flagrantly ripped off the code, changing only the strings used to identify the author. He was even as brash as to use images of the rig that Mo built in promotional material to sell the stolen asset. It looks like he’s based out of either Russia or China, it’s hard to tell. Mo understood that selling tools online comes with a risk of having your work redistributed for free - but the fact that this guy thinks he can go in and sell other people’s tool - which represents years of development work - is just too much.
Here he is trying to sell the asset on reddit under the username u/berdyev:
r/Maya - Character Rigging tool for Maya
We’ve already shut down his vimeo and youtube but he has other channels which we’re in the process of reporting. Spread the word - Revamp Rigging is a thief and a fraud, please help us shut him down.
