I've submitted a bunch of images to e-on's Picture of the Day, and I've had several selected for the day's display, which is cool. Folks want to see what can be done using Vue d'Esprit, they can browse the PotD archives at e-on's website. One of the requirements is that submissions to PotD be made with Vue alone, no additional work after the rendering, aside from a signature if desired. If they like the image but don't believe it was made only using Vue, then is when they would ask for the scene file, only to verify it really renders that way. I've never had them ask me for one, and frankly, I would be very surprised to be asked. Now, as Bloodsong said, there is an option not to particpate. No one twists my arm to submit images to PotD. No one has ever requested a scene file from me, either. If I was asked, and if the scene contained models I don't have the right to redistribute, I'd have to refuse, it's that simple. That would mean my questionable image would probably be excluded from PotD, but that wouldn't be the end of the world or anything. I can make make new images and try again, right? Plus I can always display any of my images in my own gallery. :)
