Someone wrote an SL Secret going after Tegan for the buying/stealing models from websites Cheeky pea was guilty of. I modelled the chair in question so I feel obligated to respond. I went to CGTrader and bought the model screenshotted on the secret so here, you can compare.
lmao i so thought you were coming out that you bought it to use.. YOU SCARED ME WAVIE
I assume its obvious to everyone that it is not the same model, however the cg model is only 3 dollars, so anyone that is still not sure just buy the model from CG Trader and send me your email address. I'll send the floorplan/brocante model to compare.
memesaurus: oh god, now that i read it again it does sound like that, i hope everyone actually clicks the plurk
Wavie_Haller: LOL I KNEW YOU MODELED IT i knew you weren't trifling
I can see it from the secret picture even that it's not the same model.
yeah it's obvious but it's a witch hunt now lol so its bound to happen
just so you guys know... to someone who's got zero experience making mesh stuff. it's not that obvious from the secrets pic. so make sure to spread the truth. cause ppl WILL be taken in by this. source: me, who thought the chairs looked the same before you showed me in the program.
That's why we took the time to do the comparison <3
We're proud of the work we do together, and this secret is clearly targeting me for some reason, even though Wavie is the one that created this model- I did the texturing and the posing on this particular item.
yes and I so appreciate it
my comment is less for you and wavie and more for ppl saying the difference is obvious lol the common SL person is not that smart!
Replurking because seeing legit designers dragged is not right.
You guys are super sweet, thank you for your support!
thanks for the statement! like
bunnyblindside, i am not a mesh creator and they all look the same to me too
I'm very ashamed for people coming out like this.. like are they fucking blind? As I said before it drives me nuts that someone dares to come to original creators who make all work and blame them for mistake of someone else.
I’m sorry you need to go through this and this comparison might help others too. Replurked
Geez look at the detail on that chair. You're kinda good at this. Maybe. I'm not being nice.....don't get scared. LOL
Ffs, some people have way too much fucking time on their hands
DelicateFlower: DONT POINT IT OUT, IM AWARE THE CG TRADER MODEL IS ACTUALLY BETTER AND MORE ACCURATE
Wavie_Haller: I MEAN I LIKE THE CG TRADER FART HOLES BUT I ALSO KNOW YOU LIKE TO BASK IN YOUR OWN STINK
Honestly I really like the little caps at the bottom of the legs that you put on. A- (because an A+ would be too nice)
Nivaya: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS ME
this is a great visual comparison, thanks for sharing it! wavie, you're so good at meshing, id never doubt you. the stuff on those websites is much lower quality IMO.
omgwtfbarb:
you are the nicest, honestly the cg chair is better than mine imo but thats not the point
it has holes for farts to escape
Nivaya: you made me spit my coffee out my nose. Thanks.
Jesus this is completely ridiculous
It's so frustrating to see people target genuine creators. Keep on creating that fab mesh!
I'm so sorry you have had to do this, I really feel for you and all the other genuine creators who have been dragged into this mess. On a positive note, you and Apple Fall will be getting my furniture purchases from now on
.
And I said it on Teagan's plurk. You guys keep on doing what you do, I will keep on buying what I want from you. Thank you for the picture evidence thingy.. non creators are doofus' (like me!) and, though I can see differences even without the side-by-side, it's nice to see it close up like you did it. And yeah, it's a freaking shame that asshats are asshats
ZsaZsaZ: I adore those stores! The mesh and textures are amazeballs! I think I own half the stores. Then again, I am a decor whore.
Raynee: oh me too, and have been adding tons to my wish list
Sorry to see more excellent designers having to respond to anonymous false claims. There's also approximately a million different variations of that chair design in RL and SL - we have one as a barstool
its not fair, is not fair that because of one now everyone is dragged down
or they try to
I have about 3 different chairs in that style, all different, all from different stores. Never once did i think they "stole" them or the idea/inspiration for them.
You do such beautiful work, I am so sorry you are going through this. Replurked also.
I don't need any comparisons, but anytime you want to send me your meshes, feel free to do so. xP

GET OFF OF WAVIE! also please fart hole chair with real fart sounds.
but seriously, it's horrible y'all are getting questioned. I will forever support Consignment, Brocante and floorplan.
They should know that no-one that makes mesh as shitty as yours would ever steal it because why? NOW STOP PLURKING AND MAKE ME MY CELLO AND SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE GODDAMMIT.
Mangrovejane: YOURE NEVER GETTING A CELLO, GO BUY ONE ON CG TRADER
it's very very obviously not the same model. I think it's sad it's come to this that sl buyers have to scrutinize and question everything a creator puts out because some feel the need to take ilegal shortcuts.
Wavie_Haller oh come ON Nessie. Just channel your inner cello already. You’ll feel so much better afterwards.
Would it be ok if I share this on Facebook also? I know alot of people on that site don't have plurk. I would hate for some stupid slander like this to upset your income.
Yes! Thank you so much, we don’t use FB for SL!
not even close honey... keep doing what you're doing - this will all blow over
It is so frustrating that other creators are being dragged into what started with the Cheeky Pea fiasco. I made a similar chair to that too. Perhaps we are all just one secret creator working different brands.
CharlotteBartlett: It's as if it's a well known style of chair, isn't it? That secret is too stupud
the irony of that spelling mistake
Thank you everyone that replied/liked/replurked or even Facebooked it. I really appreciate it
