Is it allowed to sell a scene with IES lighting file that was downloaded from website but give credit to that site, and also is it allowed to sell a scene with a painting on the wall that was also downloaded from internet?

For example, I have interior dining room that has IES lights from http://www.eclipselightinginc.com/pages/download/photometric-ies-files.php and on the walls there are paintings from a artist that I found on google. Is it okay to sell that scene if I will give credit to both the IES and the artist?

This is my example scene: http://www.finalmethod.com/3docean/1.jpg

The lights are IES from www.eclipselightinginc.com and pictures are from an artist Cohan Leslie. So my question is if it is okay to sell this scene all does everything has to be made by me includeing IES lights?

Thanks,

Art

Giving credit would not be enough.

You need to either find out what type of license the files have if any at all or contact the creators. In a lot of cases images have a creative commons license meaning you can use it in your renders but should not include the image in your file for purchase.

If the file has a creative commons license you can always include a link to the images in your help file and let buyers know how to download and setup the scene to use the lighting or images.

If you need any more info either send me a mail or contact support :)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Vex for the info, and pointing me into the right direction for research. I will try to find out what their license types are before submitting my item on marketplace.
