3d Animation Copyright Guidelines

Summary

A 3D video animation based on a painting is generally considered a derivative work under intellectual property law. In Italy, you need permission from the original artist unless the work is in the public domain (artist deceased for over 70 years). Fair use exceptions include education, research, news reporting, criticism, review, or parody. Transformative works add new expression, meaning, or message and do not substitute the original works market. Always consult a local attorney for specific advice.
