Dear Contributors:

At this time, we are no longer accepting images of 3D interior renderings. We have noticed some of these designs contain elements based on wire-frame models from third-party sources. Artists who upload these images could be exposing themselves to legal issues. Our advice is to focus your attention on creating images and illustrations from scratch that do not rely on outside elements.

For a complete list of known image restrictions, please visit the following link:

I am the author of his works. I do all the model itself. The main income in my portfolio create renderings.

Become a Member If I agreed with the terms of the contract, which I shall only upload their work. I have to comply with the contract.
I myself was property release, in spite of what has already signed a treaty which shall only upload their work.

And then get a waiver, with reference to the message.

Do something. Make a special agreement, in which I would reiterate is that I AUTHOR all 3D work available for sale in shutterstock.com

I make all my models from scratch not done any interior images yet but was going to have a crack soon. I understand what you mean by there being wire frame models made from blueprint and agree with what you are saying but I don't understand why all interior images should be restricted. Can you not upload a model/property release stating that all models are owned by the submitter, then if anyone is foolish enough to continue to open themselves to possible copyright infringement it is there responsibility.

I put approx 4 to 5 hours modeling a piece of furniture and will use this piece more than once in my renderings. Then to get rejected for something I created from scratch is very dis-heartening. I dont see how someone could judge a render if you cant see the wiring making up the object at any rate. The Mesh could be completely different but 'look' like some ones design. This can just as easily happen in my 2d illustration and rendering. I'm not liking this new rule . . . at all.

I can see where you would have a problem if you uploaded the wireframe models,
but in a rendering program you have control over texture, color, reflections and so on.
Of course, model designers could still cause legal problems.

Some rendering programs come with a statement saying what models that come
with the program can be used commercially and which cannot.
You should at least be able to render and upload a scene with "approved" models.

A lot of 3rd party 3D model sellers (such as turbo squid) sell their models with an agreement that we "can" use it in anyway we want, even commercially. If you think stuff you see on movie screen were all created from scratch, you're so mistaken.
