Hello everyone,
I received a submission from one of my students as a final project. But something feels off, I think he might have downloaded the model and is using it as his own.
I've searched a few website but failed to get anything
Here is 2 screenshots of the given model.

If any of you guys recognize it please let me know
Edit:
Just a bit of back story on the project, the student was instructed to create a male anatomy sculpt from scratch or basically sphere following all of the default steps. And him using the mesh defeats the purpose of the whole project.
The main thing that I found wrong was the fact that it's sculpted in a pose, even though we teach them to always sculpt in the default A-pose. So that was the main giveaway.
Here is the link for the new screenshots:

Apart of as PhantomDesign pointed out it might be helpful to know how polygongroups are named (e.g. what is in the hierarchy below "body" / "body1") cause such characters can be changed / morphed very easy by anyone in several programs.
@zabotlama: I remember we had to solve / play through problems on paper first which was the most effective way learning (seems to be missing almost in nowadays schools). Teachers used to say things like: "Any i***t can hack something into a software" :D.
The body looks almost identical to this one on Artstation Marketplace by Diego Osorno. Note the reposition of the forward leg is wrinkled - something that is unlikely in an original model.

You could navigate to this model and then contact Mr. Osorno directly to see if he recognizes the student submitted model.
I'm familiar with many of the basemesh heads on Artstation Marketplace, but I don't remember seeing one that looks quite like the one on the student's work. You could, yourself, take a look at the male basemeshes available on Artstation Marketplace, and also scan through the male heads/faces.
Looks like the face has been changed, or maybe the head replaced.
Yeah, the model's face appears to be a modified, subdivided version of an African American base mesh head on TS. It has very similar lines and structure, but it's impossible to say for sure without seeing the lowest subdivision base level of the sculpt. Either way, if it can't be proven in the end, then the least you might be able to do is dock him points for not following procedure (posing model instead of using T or A pose) and losing the original base mesh files.
It will be more helpful if you post screenshot of the wireframe.
The only way to verify if it is the same body model as Mr Osorno's basemesh is to compare the wireframe views. You cannot determine this for certain looking only at the skin render. Comparing the polygon and vertex count would help to determine if it is a copy, but if the face has beenn greatly modified, the counts would differ. I say these things only as a prior professor who would want to confirm my suspicions before accusing a student of misbehavior.
