Using my work without permission! - Scifi-Meshes.com

**Andrew March** · 02-26-2007, 07:12 PM

I just happened to be browsing Cornucopia3d looking at some Vue Infinite content, when I notice that an image of mine is being used to promote a competition on the site without me ever having received a request to use it.

This is just absolutely maddening.

The competition is the Nova Genesis 'future visions' and smack up pops my 'On Patrol' image.

Someone's cruisin for a bruisin.

link!

have you contacted the people that run the place?
if so, what do they have to say for themselves?

**IRML** · 02-26-2007, 07:23 PM

I checked my email but no images in their latest newsletter are displaying, it has something about the contest but I can't see any image there

haven't spotted it on the website either yet

they aren't part of eon are they? surely they operate separately, I know when I activated vue 5 for the first time I got £20 of vouchers with them, but I don't think eon would make a mistake like that

Cornucopia - Contests

this it?

**Andrew March** · 02-26-2007, 07:57 PM

Can't give you a link guys, it's a the top of the forums. It's a flash banner with 3 images in the sequence, the Marsian landscape one is mine.

The picture was originally posted on another forum and uploaded to the Cornucopia gallery.

Somebody had the gaul to suggest I read the terms of service, which of course I've already read and nowhere does it say Cornucopia3d can use your work without permission.

E-on can but cornucopia are a seperate entity.

Damn it that's pissed me right off.

One of my images 'Nanobots' is also used,I have it posted on the Cornucopia site,but I wasn't asked if they could use it for their 'Future Visions' competition.

e-on Software on the other hand are using around 7 or 8 of my images to promote Vue on their site,I was asked though by them if it was OK. I gave my permission for them to use which ever images they liked, you'd think though seeing as though I'm helping promote their product they could of atleast offered a discount or copy on Vue 6 when it came out,after all company's the like of ILM,Weta,Sony are using Vue so e-on software are probably not short of cash !

Its never a good idea to piss off a guy with an M-16.

In some ways, that your art is good enough to represent them is a form of flattery, although I can certainly see why it annoys you that you werent asked.

The read me on my old viper model up at sci-fi 3D clearly says, if you make any art, let me see it, yet the first I know that its in a 5 minute BSG fanfilm is when someone posts a link to it on this forum.

Not quite the same thing, but it would have been nice to know.

Give me a blowtorch and a set of pliers then they’ll beg me for mercy.

Irritating in the extreme, no matter who is responsible- it takes 30 seconds and a small amount of courtesy to send an email with a link or a "please"...
