Dude there is a BIG difference between asking for tech support and having a company rep see that you used their product and them emailing you DEMANDING that you show proof of a valid license or they take you to court.
Oh and not sure about anything else but the reason you cant use the "grim armor" is because it is actually the Jin-roh armor (probably with very few changes, haven't compared the two but the helmet looks VERY similar.) So naturally they don't want you using someone else's trademark armor in something commercial like a movie or vid game (as if you could use something that poly heavy in a vid game these days)

All those words seem to create the wiggle room rather than remove it. You are free to "copyright and distribute rendered ... images" if you're not producing "trademarks or logotypes for ... commercial products."
Thank you
Well to be honest I dont care why he is hated
I think its only fair to warn people who come here
and ask about a poser merchants products
not to be disuaded by his "Enemies" who Spread false
information about their usage limitations.I clearly remember the outrage over at the DAZ Forums
when Sanctumart released his werewolves
and Made the boasting promo Statement (paraphrasing):
***"These Models are of the highest Quality Dont waste your money on those Comical Attempts to make something like it"
Many Touchy/Feely people in the Daz forums Assumed he was referring to the somewhat Cartoonish (IMHO) "Lycanthrope" werewolf figure By a popular merchant named "lynn" and declared
Jihad against Michael Rak( SA) and go on the attack every time his cursed name is mentioned.
So what he does not Feel obligated to come and play Kissy face in the forums, or seems boastful and Arrogant in his Ad copy.
..Who cares ?? thats no reason to Lie/mislead about his EULA'sBTW George Lucas is Well known for giving Alot of leeway
for us using Starwars Characters in Fan Art and even Fan Films
But I assure you if you put an "R2D2" in your Commercial Logo trademarked brand
the Lucas Film Lawyers Will come after you.
And Sanctumart's Commercial restriction are no Different from ThatThe great Majority of poser user are not Professional Graphic Designers Doing Commercial Brand Development and would not be Affected by this anyway.
On the "Proving you are a legal buyer" point
perhaps he lacks the usual Diplomacy and Tact many poserverse Dwellers have come to expect from Merchants but again ...Who cares??
I cant receive tech Support from Luxology For MODO 401
without first establishing myself as a Legal buyer and the same goes for Autodesk,Maxon et al.Cheers
