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

Derivative works are still subject to infringement laws. Just look at all the fan fiction that exists, and all of it that has been shut down by the IP owner(s).

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


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

The clothng won't fit V4 unless it's being worn by V4 or some character that was based on V4. The rigging in a piece of clothing has to match the rigging in the figure that it's intended to be used on. (IE, copy/paste the rigging directly). It's not just a matter of naming the various body parts and bones the same. The joint parameters have to be the same as well, and each joint parameter has its own host of values unique to that particular joint in that particular figure. Those values exist in a file that is interpreted by the software. In fact they are bits of software code themselves, and software code is vary much protected by IP laws.

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.
