I do not know what to say about your current situation other than I pray that your situation gets better. Daz Studio is therapy for me. A hobby. I use it to make media for family and friends. I use it to make Posters for various occasions.  Are there shelters in your area, churches, support groups, etc? One place you can use your laptop is libraries. You can cut down your render time by rendering in layers. Once all the layers are done rendering, put it together in your graphics program. I took a look at the cigarette packs and I wonder if you can still use them just change the design of the packs as well as the fonts used. The information you shared about the copyrighted material is very helpful. Now we know that the cigarette packs are considered copyright material.  Are you a veteran by any chance, perhaps you can reach out to a veterans group. Another thing that comes to mind is there are elderly people that want to stay in there homes but they need someone to stay there with them, mostly at night. Perhaps there is an organization that offers that. You could reach out to them, that would be one way to get out of your homeless situation.  I did a search for shelters in your area - https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=minnesota+homeless+shelters.  There are places that can help you with your homeless situation.
