Quote - Hi Momodot,

That is commercial stuff and copyright is mainly an issue of commerce, that is why there are provisions for fair use... protection is extended somewhat analagously to patents, to provide exclusive commercial within strict terms... not to education and art.

I'm afraid that is incorrect (although it may be how you would wish to see things.) You may find it of use to visit the Copyright forum.

Hi destro75,

We do not have any issues with you posting morphed models, but you must have the rights to use any photos/textures which you use in making your render.

 

Guys (and Gals),

I am not a lawyer. But, should Policei raid all the painters on art faires where you find soulful drawings of Jimi Hendrix or Elvis, or, God forbid, a velvet protrait of G.W.
In other words, can you paint an image of a know figure? If you can, it is an interpretive expression. 
Any law porfessors out ther to confirm?
