Title: Managing release for virtual model
Post by: derby on December 16, 2021, 03:30

Hi all,
I've searched around forum but I haven't found any answer to this question: how agencies are managing (or will manage) release for virtual people created with animation software?
There are actually some examples of incredible, photorealistic, stills and animations with virtual people, they are so real that is difficult to distinguish them from real people. And I'm quite sure that an agency will ask for model release for these creations.

This is not related to Adobe stock only but I post it here because here Mat from Adobe could have an answer.

Thanks

I can't speak for any other agency. In most cases, a property release should be sufficient to meet our requirements at Adobe Stock. You'll need to sign as both the property owner and the contributor. I recommend you include an image of the virtual person as a reference on the release.

Good luck,

Mat Hayward
