First off, Seth didn't make any of the graphics. That was left up to the artist, Justin Martin who was initially a 50% stakeholder in Dink who has chosen not to release the 3DS Max models or Photoshop files, and doesn't care at all about DModders. See this thread for details.
I very much doubt he would willingly release any of the 3D models without a rather hefty payment (if at all) meaning that unless we all coughed up some dough, our only alternative would be to recreate all of the models and render them ourselves which was sort of what Windemere was about.
I see. I thought by now Seth might own them completely. Also thought by now neither of them would really care at all for 20-year-old graphics. One would think they'd be happy to give it to this community and see them finally get used.
I don't see the graphics as a big problem though. Seth could still give us his original ideas for the game. There are good artists in this community that could make their own graphics based on Seth's ideas. I don't see any reason he'd want to keep his ideas from us, except if he one day decides he is going to finish Dink into its original form, and then ask money for that too, which would be lunacy.
