Title: Seriously??
Post by: heywoody on May 11, 2014, 15:57

Have a number of images pending model release..

Some excuse here (as long as reviewing consists of a quick look at the thumb which is probably what happens these days)

Maybe they meant property release for the 3d models.

Is it just me or is there something about the first one other than just not needing a model release?

It must be the same reviewer who asked for a model release for this:

for CG work they require a release, basically a screenshot of the models in the 3d application and a line or two stating you created the models.

They don't - they (generally) realise the source and the fact that these items are licenced for commercial use.  Previously, when this has happened, I've uploaded a "model release" just stating that it's not an actual person.

They have required a release for every one of my CG images and animations...the reviewers often say model realease, but they just want a screen shot and an explaination.
