I called the folks at DAZ, and the basic license does not allow you to distribute the 3d models in any binary format. So you couldn't use them in a game.

Bill,

The cart is waaay in front of the horse here!

If (and that's a big if) something saleable comes of this project, licenses for meshes would have to be negotiated with whichever company, probably on a percentage/royalty basis.

My current line of thinking is to use Poser compatible models directly from disk so it would be possible to distribute the software and leave it up to the end users to obtain meshes, by going to DAZ and downloading them or buying a copy of Poser. That is what DAZ is doing with DAZ Studio.

It really depends on how this project comes together.
