A guy told me that he found a pic from me on another site!
I will warn you about this firm. it’s http://www.archimmagine.net/edifici.htm
If you post an image, place your logo somewhere in your image. I would guess in the middle of it would be best! 
Have a nice day!
best regards

Ugh, some people are soo sad, it is always hard for me to believe that someone would do this… 
:x :twisted:
Send an email threatening a law suit and it should be removed pretty quickly
Watermark everything!!! I have always watermarked final images prior to posting. I put my name right in the middle with opacity turned down.
So if they really want the image thier going to have to do some serious photo editing to remove it. Sorry maxxer that does suck. I would do just as mike kennedy said.
Yea, that really bugs me. Someone once sent one of my images attached to her CV!! :shock:
:? Discracefull :? …it makes you wonder what sort of standard there 3D work is, if they have to sell themselve’s in this way… not good
Maxxer,
Don’t know if it will work, but all of us could send them e-mails showing them how lame they are, if the mails volume is big enough maybe they will retire your render and think twice next time they feel like stealing other people work, of course if you agree.
that is pretty lame and disgraceful…it defeats the whole point of learning and building one’s skills as a 3d artist…that’s with out considering the legal issues of using someone else’s work…
I’d do as mike_kennedy says…
paul.
perhaps we should send an email to these people as a mass protest in support of Maxxer
re
You know what…most of these folks portray themselves as multi-person operation when in reality it’s one guy operating from the house who probably was originally a web-designer ( now w/o work) to begin with.
i think thats ok if they can produce the work and not use others work to advertise themselves :twisted:
Seems like the page is already removed, I can’t see anything on that link!
yes it’s really removed.
ok, folks thanks a lot for comments.
hope this was the first and the last time I see my pics somewhere else…
know let’s create wonderful images for this wonderful forum. 
best regards

the url works again, is ur image still there?
I sympathize with you Maxer. The same thing has happened to me earlier
this year. It absolutely infuriated me. The audacity that some people have is frightening. The 3D world is a small and thight-knit community. What’s the chance that we wouldn’t end up hearing about it?
I’d advise putting the “copyright” symbol on images aswell as your logo.
The worst thing about my experience was that the images (about 7 of them) weren’t even that great. They were images done 2 years ago. It sounds silly, but if people are going to see my work on someone elses website, it should at least be work that’s going to do me justice!!!
I went to the link aswell but I’m not sure if any the images on there now are yours Maxer.

Poor bastards!!
The reality is so sad :twisted:
url is still active. is it still with your image?
Maxxer, u are one of my favourite 3d artist. U did and do very great things.
[QUOTE=“Leo”"] how embarrasing would it be when youre in some interview and the one accross the table says “yeah we did that rendering.. how come you have our work in your portfolio???” what would you be able to say ??

Yeah… this is very sad. I’m wondering .. HOW is possible.. something like this.
I’m really sad to see that they are italians .. i hope thay are the only people who behave like this!!!
ok… let’s go on…

I can remember an image of mine done with MAX 3.1 and Vray showing up in a commercial for MAX 5 from Discreet and Autodesk. They forgot to ask permission or tell me about it. The image supposedly showed how nice the improved dof in MAX worked… :lol:
After threatening with a lawyer, they apologised and promised me never to do it again :roll:

hmmm…
just contact his customers and tell them these wonderfull pics are from
you. Maybe they hire you for the next project.
(uhh oh.. this is evil
