Hello, I am a beginning graphic artist starting on a multimedia project using 3D Studio. However, I want to be cautious about any copyright infringement in textures and maps that I use since this is a commercial project. I am attempting to create realistic room scenes, and I need wallpaper patterns, rugs, paintings for the walls, etc. If anyone can help me out, I would like to know what the copyright rules are for the following things: – Paintings, such as those of the "Great Masters", i.e. VanGogh, Rembrandt, Botticelli, etc. – Image maps of persian rugs, scanned from photos – Wallpaper or fabric prints, such as those by William Morris or others – Image maps in general If anyone can give me some guidance on this subject, I would appreciate it, and you would be helping to keep a beginning graphic artist out of trouble! Thanks! – darin -Darin Lenderink
