no wonder thebryster lives there! most of the pix are so bryce-ish! btw.. since we can enlarge them..can we use them as mats? copyright issues?

Beautiful!
I am afraid there will be issues.
It says, on the pics:
Copyright NASA and EPA.
Pity, would love to use them.

You can use them as mats............you just can't publish them here.
I just wish they'd stop throwing junk up here.

On the face of this I would say you are ok to use their images of Mars.

But these have the C in a circle on them!

The c in the circle means its copyrighted to them...what bryster found was pretty much their consent to use their copyrighted material...under their conditions.

Ah, ok, thanks! :-)

Ok, I've sent a site-mail to Admin to see what the official take is on this. So please hangtight before posting any renders using NASA pics.

Chris, I think you hit it right in the explanatory posting of you found on the web.  I looked into this sometime ago.  (actually you remember the images I made of you in a space suit on the surface of Mars as a spoof? Those were NASA astronaut photos) 

My understanding was exactly as you said.  The images a pretty much for public consumption. NASA and JPL doesn't want someone using their logos or the images as a misrepresentation of them endorsing user stuff.  That was what I read then. 

Willie, yup! I remember those. :lol:

And we as the public pay for their cameras and space junk anyways:-P

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

lol.. don't we use the blue earth image everywhere?

Trust me when I say NASA likes any "free" advertisement they can get LOL!

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

Clay..darn right about their free  publicity crave.

Chris.. so I can use their  images..but not put them up here.. in other words.. why use them?
confusing. There are blue marble maps on their site.. in different resolutions.. . for anyone to download them. Why then?
I'm confused!!!!

I have all the planets made in Bryce if you want them, all high rez maps, even have the Mars moons with their high res maps. Here, go here and you'll get what you need Brycer, not my site, but has all you need:-)

There is a NASA pic of the moon somewhere. I've used it before.
Rosie? I'm just waiting on Rendo's take on NASA's copyright rules. I wouldn't want you to post something and get busted for it. Just hangtight for a few.

I'm not wanting to supplant Bryster's request, Rosie but I posted this in gallery and noted it was from NASA and didn't get spanked. Maybe it slipped by them so wait for Bryster's **official** okay.

i know I used the blue marble somewhere.. and one other starry pix as a background..
Willie.. we maybe we didn't get caught..  but it is so better to be safe than sorry..and better late than never to find out..

Read the usage info on those sites, as long as you don't put those on a CD etc for distribution you're good as gold.

Sorry I missed getting the original email on the 15th. Thank you Bryster for resending to me today.  As Bryster pointed out, the NASA copyright policy allows for usage, so it's ok to use them for your images that get posted here.  And, as Clay mentioned, they are should be used for any type of distribution.

Thanks for double checking...even though you were already on the right path! :)

Let me jump on JeniferC's statement, in otherwords don't put all their junk on a site or cd and try to sell it, otherwise use at will:-)
