Question

I'm confused - original modeled and rendered abstract images refused acceptance for IP violation.

I had submitted four original images that I had modeled and rendered - all four were refused at the same time and for the same reason - "Intellectual Property Refusal." There are no recognizable protected images or descriptions .. The images are attached. How can these be IP violations? To add to the confusion - the last image has a "sister" image I did that is similar (same model, same lighting but with outward radiating waves instead of turbulent waves) that was already accepted. How do I fix this and prevent it in the future?

Confused...

You, as the artist, have to submit an IP release.

Is there a way to create a single blanket release for a series of images that contain the same IP elements?

The first three would be OK with the same reference. If you include the second reference too, you could work with one release assigned to all variants.

In addition, you can prepare a property release prefilled with your data, where you just need to add the dates and the reference.

Una de las cosas que pudo haber pasado es que las 4 imagenes son iguales si subes varias fotos y todas tienen el mismo patrón no te la van a aceptar.

Thanks but the images were distinct - although three of them had the same "theme."

If you are the original creator, submit a property release as suggested in the manual. How can the moderator know tgat the creation is yours. And how can Adobe prove tgat, when the buyer gets attacked in the courts.

Adendum: The "sister" image has been accepted, because hunans take the decision. That moderator was probably persuaded, that the creation was yours. But only a property release can get the required confirmation.

Understand (and even would expect) that reviews could be inconsistent due to different moderators and such - but somehow IP matters would seem to me to be a bit more cut and dry - particularly with images likes these that clearly have no offending material.. but your explanation is the only thing that makes any sense - and as I have read just about everywhere on this board - Adobe makes the rules..

Either that or it is just an understandable mistake...

The Adobe users guide provdes these examples of submissions that would need a property release:

Famous landmarks, historic locations, and modern architecture
Copyrighted works like art, books, maps, and fictional characters
Identifiable exteriors or interiors of private homes and buildings
Distinctive product shapes like toys, bottles, luxury furniture, vehicles, and airplanes
Unique animals, such as race horses, famous pets, and certain zoo animals
Properties with photography policies, which may include stadiums, museums, concert venues, and amusement parks

Given those guidelines, and the submitted image above of a fictitious landscape that I modeled - I'm inclined to think that if this requires a property release then Adobe should be providing guidance that every image submitted needs a property release - because that's what I'm now inclined to think.

Thanks again for the information and quick responses - Still somewhat confused but I'll resubmit them with the property releases and we shall see how it goes.

Your creations fall under your point 2:

Copyrighted works like art, books, maps, and fictional characters

I suppose, it's easier for moderators to handle standard photos than 3D renders consistently.

I also suppose that you wont need an individual property release for each render, but only one for each series, or even only one general.
