Open Request For Artists Permission

Thank you for providing this great community - it is a pleasure to be a member here.

I will always respect others, and the rules here.  It is because of this pledge that I regretfully removed a video from my YouTube channel that I put together.  It showcases the unbelieveable tallents of the artistic creators here.  Nothing more.  I am not interested in making money from the work of others, but would love to obtain the permission of the artists listed below to display the pieces that I've also listed along with the names of their owners.

I would be happy to share the video with the artists involved, but it becomes somewhat more complicated when I no longer have it hosted on YouTube.  I thought of re-launching it as a "Private" video so that I could then have a simple means by which to show the artists who are interested.

In any event, I have attached a file which lists the names of the artists involved, and the pieces that I am actively seeking permission to showcase.

If you are reading this and have any clout in this community, your help would be appreciated.  The Daz 3D site itself is not only in the "Credit Roll", but was also mentioned in the video description as well (as were, of course, the artists / pieces).

Thank you for your time.  Feedback is appreciated.

    I'd contact customer service; click the Help option.

    They could then contact those concerned and provide feedback on any issues (copyright).

    You could also PM the artists from this forum, but you need Daz's input as well as PAs; or so I would guess; obviously you need to take the guesswork out of such a task - getting sued or at least issued with a takedown request would be bad.

    The practical challenge is that many artists who post their images to the galleries may not visit the forum on a regular basis.

    Even if they do visit the forum and see this post they might not download the word .docx just to find out if their name is included.

    -> Why do you not just copy and paste the information included in the word docx to this forum thread?

    As an alternative:

    Some artists also have DeviantArt pages under the same user name:

    http://www.deviantart.com/

    Maybe you can get in touch with artists who are interested in exposure there?

    I think he means that he used their renders in a video, not their products.

    I believe OP has given up on this project, as he informed me through email (I was the one on the list, if I understood correctly somebody already didn't approve their image(s) to be shown in the video).

    Basically even though such projects promote artistic works, Daz's gallery isn't a public domain and artists post here in good faith that other people won't take their artworks from here for any use, even non-commercial. To avoid any copyright conflicts with artists anywhere, it is always suggested to first contact the artists for the permission, before even starting the project of such kind.

    I am the first to be very hard on giving permissions even for most honest use of my images, as I have, just as many before me, experienced many inconveniences with other people using images with no credit or permission. Artists aren't that hard to contact, a lot of us have websites, galleries, and so on.

    in the Carrara forum for instance we are discussing a showreel 

    The OP could start a thread on a simillar vein in Art studio where artists can offer works for his video

    I am sure many would but permission must be given first not after as he has learnt

    -> You can try to enter the gallery user name in a search engine like google to find their profiles on other sites.
