The rules seem quite clear on this.  Animations rules section 3 part d:

>> You may use objects and textures downloaded from the internet or
>> purchased commercially, but it is not encouraged. Similarly you may use
>> other people's images as image-maps or textures within your own work.
>> In all cases, you must get permission from the creator of the object or
>> image. If you use such objects or images, you must make this known with
>> proper acknowledgments in the text file accompanying your submission.
>> You may not violate copyrights of any sort.

That last sentence seems quite explicit to me.
