It was unclear whether references were allowed and since I’m trying to get into the program, I need to know the rules.
I made the model from scratch and just followed the reference as a guide. I even purposely made some differences between the two. At the time I had assumed it was ok but now I’m not to sure. If you could help me out, that would be great! Thx!
You should be fine as long as enough is changed to be classed as inspiration, for example in your model the wings don’t hold as much detail around the dark parts, however some things such as a change in colour could help your chances between copying and inspiration.
When you’re trying to enter the program, I’m sure you’re able to use references for your portfolio projects, but when actually creating UGC, you should be using creativity.
