Simulating a real interior environment in an artificial one can be a daunting task. Bringing out the real emotion in a scene can be a truly difficult. It becomes more so when trying to deal with the subtle shadows that indoor lighting produces.
I have created 5 short tutorials to show you how to set up lighting to depict lighting under the following conditions.
Sunlight
Twilight
Moonlight
Tungsten Bulb
Candlelight
The knowledge therein will give you an insight into lighting your 3D Scenes and the variations you may input to make your renders as realistic as possible. Happy Blending
You’d think the guy would change the scene a bit, instead of working through the tutorials and claiming the work as his own. I wonder if his little intro bit is copied as well…
I can’t see any proof that this is a copyright or plagiarism issue.
The presented tutorials are for Blender not Maya
The scenes content is similar not equal.
Beside that:
"We (the moderation team) are not copyright lawyers, nor do we take sides in these issues. This forum is not the appropriate place to settle such disputes. While the moderation team sympathizes with those who do in fact suffer copyright violations, we also realize that claims of copyright violation may or may not be valid and can tarnish reputations on both sides.

If anyone is taken legal steps let us know that we can take necessary action until there is a court decision. If not there is no reason to accuse anyone of illegal activities.
Calm down, he did the work of translating the tutorials from one product to another. I don’t think he should charge for it, but he has the right to, and he stole no material.
that’s like saying I translated a book using a different font.:no:
Anybody remember the lawsuit between “the Verve” and “the Rolling Stones”
Despite having original lyrics, the music of “Bitter Sweet Symphony” is partially based on the Oldham track, which led to a lawsuit with ABKCO Records, Allen Klein’s company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones material of the 1960s. The matter was eventually settled, with copyright of the song reverting to ABKCO and songwriting credits to Jagger and Richards.
