Well Leon, I personally think it’s not possible to say which is a copy of which. I actually think the Dave Hill look is distinctive from LucisArt in that it has a grittier look.

My action is capable of reproducing both looks, and many variations, but you are correct, the image you start with is extremely important. We aren’t doing magic here.

Nice! The LucisArt look is actually a copy of the Dave Hill look. Of course, Dave Hill’s postprocessing is probably a secret that a plugin won’t be able to replicate everytime.

But great of you to offer a cheaper alternative to LucisArt. I will consider getting it. :)

this looks like a really nice action. I may have to look into this a little bit more. Could help greatly in what I do.

Well, Rojenu, I think I outlined the main reasons why you would buy Lucy instead of “the real one” in right on this page, but by all means, if you have 600 dollars lying around, buy “the real one”. Personally I think it’s a tad overpriced.

Talentnted artwork… amazing.. But why not buy the real one? How I wish that price is for the real one! ^^

I’m not claiming copyright to the name, I’m claiming copyright to the product. The use of the name would fall under “parody” and therefore, fair use.

Also, considering that “Lucy Starkiller” is in no way similar to ANY product that LucasArts (or Lucasfilm, for that matter) makes, I am not in any more danger than the makers of “LucisArts”.

I find your concern rather comical, but I’ll keep one eye open, just in case.

You can’t copyright something that is already copyrighted. And, I am obviously referring to the name “Starkiller”. You better have a new hope that LucasArts doesn’t find out, or else you’ll be in big bantha poodoo.
