Help with portfolio submission

Hi, hope this isnt a stupid question but when putting work done using a Simply Maya tutorial into my portfolio do I need to provide information (for copyright reasons) like "image based on Simply Maya Oliphant Tutotial" for example.

Someone please help as I do not what to infringe any copyright laws and im not even sure if im allowed to put in work done based on tutorials into a portfolio.

I don't know but even if it isn't a legal requirment i'd still give credit. But i doubt i'd use tutorial work in a portfolie anyway. For a start there's a chance the person you'll be showing the portfolio to could have seen the tutorial and end up wondering how much of the rest of your work is tutorial based.

ah k then -- its just during the tutorial videos they are always saying "to get it looking good for your portfolio" or somthing like that so i just thought that it wasnt detrimental to use tutorial based work, but now i can see your point.

Once you've learnt what the tutorial is teaching you, "re do" the tutorial, only this time with your own character design/animal/enviroment/vehicle etc.

The same techniques should apply.


Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

If you start with something similar like a rhino, you'll find it even easier to trasfer the skills.
