Oshyan;
Ran across this site that appears to have ripped one of your images..."Hello or Good Bye"
http://thesimplegallery.com/pictures.php (http://thesimplegallery.com/pictures.php)
There may be more...didn't have time to check....
I had carefully scanned through the rest of the photos even though Green's image is no photo. ::)
I do not think there were any other Terragen related images that i had seen but who knows what else has been ripped at that page. >:(
Could you do a direct link? I'm not really that familiar with all of Oshyan's work, and there are a whole lot of pictures on there.
Opps, wrong link! ;D
It is there....here is the direct link off the image on that page....

lol, it's even got his name in the link...
Maybe this is a gallery of pictures he thinks are cool? I don't see any actualy claim there that they are his.
I see a couple from www.digitalblasphemy.com as well...
you are quite observant seeing that render amongst all those on that site lol

But he/she does claim that they are photos and the Digital Blashpmey pictures and the TGD picture are definitely not photos...
I thought Oshyan was involved with a photography project (?)- don't know if this is the one though. They're not photos tho....

Unless Oshyan has given his approval, it constitutes copyright infringement.

TG2 is good, but I can still pick a TG2 render out of all those photos....LOL!
Thanks for the heads up Gradient. Some nice images there, but no attribution or anything. An all-too-common story unfortunately. I'm not sure I'll bother doing anything in this case, but I'll keep an eye on it.

@Oshyan...at least you know you're in good company! LOL!
Also for your info...another site associated with this one has posted a link to a 65mb zip file containing all the full size images....so...they are being distributed further.....
good to see people appreciating peoples renders but they should have given the name or a link as reference....i guess at least they didn't change the file name
I'd be rather unsettled about it. If they start charging money, that's when I'd really kick their ar$e.

lol, starring nicolas cage and morgan freeman, after all, they're in EVERY other film out.
and including quotes like
Freeman: "We're going to render your a$$!!!"
Cage: "My a$$ is copy protected"
Freeman: "No it's not, we saw it on thesimplegallery.com"
Cage: "You're not..."
Freeman: "Yep, will make a lovely heightfield with thru-camera shader"
Cage: "Just don't go adding any foliage"

@The Geostation
you really shouldn't be posted transcripts of convos:P :P :P :P :P
Sounds like you guys haven't had any of your stuff ripped yet...or at least don't know about it.
Images are getting ripped left and right from many of the popular sites....they're getting printed and sold on the streets in the far east (mostly).......some have even ended up on ebay.....
So, would you be happy about some guy stealing your 70+ hour render and then putting it on a print or t-shirt and making a few bucks?
It's happening....trust me, I see it every day.....
NO i wouldn't be very impressed if this happened... also if they used a render, its not hard to email the owner and ask permission to post on their site etc...

It would be very different from me if someone was A: Claiming my work was theirs or worse yet B: profiting from my work without my permission or even giving me a cut. ;) If I ever become aware of either of those two things happening I'll definitely do my best to get it stopped.

I've just had a thought: it would be a good idea to put a link to some generic licence on the forums to give some protection to the images posted here...
I don't know how you picked that image out of all those pictures! I notice there's no way of contacting the owner of the site ..........
