this looks 1:1 like the one from alex mobs

[cunning radish]

i dont see other similarities than its legs

[dusky wharf]

They look the same tbh

[stiff aurora]

They look different to me. For one thing, Alex's one is a pixel wider, and I think two pixels taller.

So the model is definitely different there. The tail shading is different, with different highlights, and the snout is of course completely different.

[cunning radish]

what is simillar for you?

[dusky wharf]

Face, model,colors

[wanton inlet]

lmao

[stiff aurora]

It's a raccoon. How much different can you get?

[cunning radish]

mine has completely diffrent collor pallete

also i based my racoon on fox model

[weak leaf]

There are many different shapes a model can take on and resemble a racoon, but if you look throughout the community's various iterations whilst there similar all are unique. Anty most definitely copied Alex's mobs. The raccoon model wize is nearly identical with it only being a pixel skinnier and body/tail shorter by a pixel. That alone wouldnt give it away but the textures have the same pattern matching except the side of face and tone shift so it was either copied by eye or heavily inspired without credit

Also the raccoon doesnt have the same quality as the other models, typically similar to drawing theres an "artstyle" that gives modelers differnt works a similar feel but the raccoon doesn't fit the others (which is do believe to be there work)

I think they are different enough. And honestly this guy's racoon looks better.

[weak leaf]

His his just a modified alexes mobs raccoon, the way I know there not different enough is when I initially clicked on this post I legitimately had to do a double take after seeing the side by side

[rain shuttle]

his is better feels more vanilla idk

[weak leaf]

Alex's better fits the vanilla textures, the method Alex's fur is textured reminds me of the goats also using hue shifts. His (antys) has less structure and more noise especially on the back. The reason his feels more vanilla to you is likley becuse of how there posed as his pose is more vanilla due to pivots being kinda rare in minecraft mobs with only the parrots and goats really coming to mind

[rain shuttle]

all humans have different opinions

[weak leaf]

True, tho theres no doubt that anty was heavily inspired by or blatantly copied Alex's raccoon (i dont know anty nor seen any other works besides a bronto in a differnt server so I will assume he was taking heavy inspiration rather then blatantly plagiarism)

[stiff aurora]

Yeah, I definitely agree with that.

[stiff aurora]

No, I strongly disagree with you. I am firmly of the opinion that it wasn't plaigarism, and am not comfortable with you accusing Anty of "blatantly copy[ing]" based only on your opinion.

[weak leaf]

What aspects of antys raccon make you belive its not related to Alex's model?

[stiff aurora]

Here is a raccoon picture from Wikipedia. If I were going to model this, I'd end up with something a lot like Anty's model; the only difference I think I would have is that I would make it a bit thinner and have the legs be a pixel longer.

[stiff aurora]

I don't need to prove that it isn't plaigarism.

You need to prove that it is.

[weak leaf]

I can, though it honestly makes no difference sense its not my work being plagiarised

[stiff aurora]

And if you want specific, measurable differences? Well, one that I see is the side of the face. Another that I see is the snout. The shading on the tail is also different.

I can't deny there are similarities; however, they're both models of the same animal! Of course there are similarities!

[stiff aurora]

Then perhaps you should do so, since you just accused a person of plaigarism.

[weak leaf]

Same animal models will have similarities trust me im well aware of it, I myself made a raccoon last year (texture isnt up to my current standards) but the model holds as unique raccoon. I can understand if they had a resemblance but antys even has similar ahading layouts atm Im preparing for Thanksgiving so ima have to return to this later (likley later tomorrow sense ima be cooking tonight)

This is the one I had made, definitely needs a texture update but the model itself is unique and I had also used Alex's for inspiration

If you look at the various raccoons others have made as well you'll see how unique they all are

Despite similarities

[stiff aurora]

By the way, I do apologize if I pass the bounds of courtesy during this conversation. Unjust accusations of plaigarism are things that I feel very strongly about, having been the target of them myself in other circumstances. It's not fun to be accused of plaigarism in a system that presumes guilt... and you should know that the court of public opinion does very much presume guilt.

[weak leaf]

No worries, I take no personal offense. Minecraft modding is a passion so it makes sense

[cunning radish]

I just don't know what to say
