Also forgot to mention, the black in silver N-1 sounds like it would be badass. Ok back to the point at hand: -Yes if this was the way it was in the real world yes no one would work, but this is different, the goals are different. Sorry If I get this wrong, but the goal of the world is to make money, the goal of a mod is for enjoyment, to try new things, and to have as many people play it as possible. Yes if this was a business and making money of models it would be determential, but for a mod I can see it being very benificial. -Joining forces allows for more modelers and skinners to mod. Allowing more models to be made. In the long run more Mods will be made. Also the more people working on it allows for better brainstorms on how things in the mod could work making the game more fun. Also there would be more resources that could be used to make the mod and possibly advertise for it. -Two very similar good mods joining together in theory should create a great one. Also it will allow to monopolize that mod type, meaning more people will play your mod. -I don't see how a modeler would have a problem sharing his work as long as credit is due. More people will be able to enjoy his work. I really don't see to many negatives for sharing (notice I say sharing, not stealing) work.
