I created an image using Bryce 4 and Poser 4. Bryce for the background, spheres, and textures. Poser for the hand. I made a small portfolio with the image included and now I found that some people would like to purchase one or more of my images. Correct me if I am wrong, but using Bryce and Poser for Commercial uses is ok right? Since I bought them? Besides would this really be considered Commercial if I sell one of my personal images? Please help...thanx.

A) Yes, Bryce and Poser are OK for commercial uses, assuming that you've bought both of them and you don't have the educational version. B) Yes, it would be considered commercial if you sold a personal image. It becomes commercial when you sell it.. So make sure you don't have other peoples' models, etc. in the image if their readme or whatever states that they can't be used for commercial purposes before you sell it. =) C) Cool pic. =) Rosh

I don't think I used anyone elses stuff in this one. I don't know, lots of textures in my library, though I used mostly Bryce textures. If anyone see something in this image that might be theirs let me know, otherwise I will assume I have the go ahead. Thanx. Have a good one! Schnaps P.S. Thanx for the help Rosh!

Feel free to sell images you created. Ever watch saturday morning cartoons? There are poser figures all over there. Most of the models you can download on the net are free for commercial use, tho the makers usually like to see what you've done with them, but be sure to read the readme file, a few aren't available for commercial use. Most are however

This just gave me a great idea. After reading the readme files, it might be helpful to put all the downloads that have free commercial use terms into a separate folder or filed off on a CD, so you'll always know which ones you can use without invoking the wrath of the originator. Funny I never thought about it before, but I have things that I might want to use commercially, and I can't becuase I have no idea wbere certain elements I used came from, or becuase I know the artist who made them have strongly forbidden commercial use. Also, to those folks who offer free downloads, please don't forget to include that all important readme file so we can know for certain what we can use and what we can't. Melanie PS: Anything I create is free for personal or commercial use to anyone who wants it, no strings attached. I have a stone railing in the Bryce Free Stuff, so use it to your heart's content. I'm just flattered if anyone thinks it's good enough to use. If I wanted restrictions on it, I would have sold it for a price.

Another brilliant idea just struck me. If you don't want a huge file on your hard drive, or don't have a writable CD and don't want thousands of floppies spilling all over the place, you could just keep a record (in WordPerfect or Word or somewhere) with names of folks who do give free commercial use rights on their downloads. Anything to make our work easier. Melanie
