Can anyone point me to the thread about Rosity wanting our artwork for promotions etc.....

I had asked a q about ftp but by the time I came back to see if anyone had answered, the article is gone from the front page.

Thanks,

Stacey,

It's nice to see you.

So,,,,,,,,,,,is there some other way to submit artwork? And is there a generic template for the permission readme?

Thanks,

Daidalos

Hold on and I'll point our Marketing person, Jason, to this thread so he can help you:)

Daidalos,

Feel free to send me an email and I will get you the appropriate information on the FTP.  My email is jasonk@renderosity.com

The email will have the information on what needs to go in the readme.  There is no template, and all that needs to be in that text file is a statement that the image is 100% yours and that you give Renderosity the right to use that image in communication materials. 

Hope this answers your question.  If you need anything else, I'll be happy to help.

There are still a lot of questions under member's opinions that, IMHO, need to be answered. Maybe this thread can answer those as well? And serve as some sort of needed FAQ about this wonderful opportunity.

Hello,

Can you be more specific about what questions Jason needs to answer so that he can help clarify anything needed?

Hi Stacey & Jason,

I copied and pasted the opinions below, hope this is ok.

A resolution of 300 ppi - fine. But at which size?

By: tom271 on 4/28/08
will the art have to target a subject.. or just send art? This is what I having trouble understanding...

Are these considered as 'commercial'? i.e. if the picture uses items (perhaps freebies) designated as 'for non-commercial use only' would using the image for this purpose be 'illegal'?

i also have the question that will we recieve notification if and when something is being used so we can see it to add to a porfolio or something of that nature otherwise excellant idea

I'd like clarification of copyright issues. For instance, is this a "single use" contract so that I would be free to use the image afterward or is it signing the rights to the image to you for perpetuity. I can deal with both, but need to know if I should avoid sending my favorite images.

By: ArthurOPodd on 5/17/08
Does the assignment of copyright extend to other works with the same characters and morphs? For instance, If I use a set like Daz Places of Summer with Sarsa's Parabella for A3 fighting Rebelmommys Lillith for V4, would all combinations of actions with those figures in that set with the same clothes be assigned to you or just the fighting poses?

By: ArthurOPodd on 5/17/08
Would the same character be assigned? For instance if I use my own morph settings to make a Michael 3 character called "Fred Fairy" in a dancing pose, would the character or just that image be assigned?

Thanks for any clarification and/or additional info you can provide.

There are no size restrictions, but a preferred size would be in the 8 1/2 x11 to A4 range

There is no subject required.  Anything you've designed has the potential to be something we use.  So far we've gotten portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, abstract art, and many other types of artwork

These images will be used for marketing communications only.  This will not violate that stipulation.  They won't be sold or submitted elsewhere for such purpose*

*We'll try our best to contact you when we use your work.  As long as you have some means of contact, I'll let you know that we used your artwork and what for.

The copyright issues will be addressed in another post.

I hope I answered your questions!  If you have any more, you can email me at jasonk@renderosity.com.  Thanks guys!*

Thanks for the replies. :)

Is there a link to the other post about the copyrights?

You retain the copyright holder for your image, you are only allowing Renderosity to use it.  In order to give Renderosity permission the image is required to be 100% your own using items that allow for commerical work.

I'm not really sure I understand your last two questions.  You, nor Renderosity, can copyright the characters or morphs made by others. 

For a better understanding of copyrights, please go to the US Copyright Office. http://www.copyright.gov/.  Their basic info and FAQs should be useful to you.

Wasn't sure about the points above. Now it's clearer. Thank you.
