DAZ :"The fact that you modelled the meshes to fit around the Daz figures means that they derive from the Daz figures, and so are subject to the Daz EULA."
Welcome to the Delusional world of Daz3D ?
That's hilarious :D
I have to say that I doubt that such claim would hold up in court and sounds more like a scare tactic made by someone that think they have the right to do something that they ain't legally allow to do. I mean what would they do if someone accidentally figured out that one Dreamworks clothing items for a movie fitted V4, would they threaten them as well? I would like to see that :D
The artist owns the mesh that makes the clothing, but in order for that clothing to function on V4, it requires V4's rigging (and shape), and DAZ owns V4's rigging (and shape). They allow that rigging to be used to make content for V4
There might be is some legal rights if you copy/paste the rigging directly, and that i would say is a HUGE maybe only and would like to see or hear from a lawyer that actually know if that is true or not, because I find it hard to believe. I mean Daz don't have any legal right in calling their bones hip, chest etc. Every 3D human character is build on the principal that the rig is suppose to mirror that of a human being, animal or whatever. I can only imagine Disney and Dreamworks having to invent fictional bones because they are scared of Daz :D
And what about Dynamic cloth? it have no rigging, yet you can model it as a catsuit if you want, so I guess they can legally claim that as well them? And what if its a loose dress that fits V4 and some of the other characters around, then you are really in trouble. :D
To me it sounds insane, seriously deluded if they can get away with that or if people take it seriously. In regards to your mesh Wolf359 it could probably fit several characters with only minor changes.
