Yep. Have it right here in my history menu...somewhere... here it is: http://www.daz3d.com/support/index.php?id=14 The quoted sentence is in the second paragraph of item 2) under "Morphs - Ways to distribute your morphs for Victoria 3" The next sentence recommends using delta injection poses instead of CR2s though. I was surprised, too, Spanki. I can't get the hang of custom deltas, so I've been sitting on a few characters 'cause I didn't think I could do anything with them. As a buyer, I prefer the INJ poses because the download file size is smaller. Gonna keep trying, and the thread you linked might help! Thanks for posting it. I would have missed it otherwise :-)

True. There is a Stephanie LE version that is distributable, the straight Stephanie CR2 is not. But the LE version contains pretty much all the morphs that the full version contains, I haven't found any that are missing. I've used the LE version, in conjunction with cusom morphs, with my character Marcelia. She comes with a ready-to-load CR2, custom morphs already loaded and her native dials already set. I looked over at DAZ on the V3 CR2 thing, and you're right, RHaseltine. "It is also possible to distribute a Victoria 3 CR2 file containing ONLY your custom morph information." I emailed to ask back in late September when V3 was first released, and I was told no. Hmmm. Gotta keep up with this stuff :-) Looking at that FAQ, I'm suspecting now that they might have misunderstood my question. Thanks :-)

MariByTheSea: ernyoka1 is right. There's a lot of room for improvements in V3. There are several custom characters available for V3 that use none of her native morphs. Trixie by Dave71 comes to mind. As with any DAZ figure, you CAN create a character using DAZ/Zygote native morphs and sell the MOR or INJ pose, because those only save dial settings, not the morphs themselves. And if you use only V1, M1, or Steph native morphs, or your own custom Vic, Mike, or Steph morphs, DAZ has available distributable CR2s that you can set up your character on and sell. Those require that the purchaser already have the base mesh installed. There is no distributable CR2 for V3. jumpstartme2: Yes, as long as everything contained in the scene is licensed for commercial renders. Freestuff sometimes specifies non-commercial use only. USUALLY anything you purchase, and certainly anything purchased at Renderosity, is licensed for commercial RENDERS.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I wanted to delete the "On sale through Monday" bit from one of my recent images, but it wanted me to reupload the picture. So I just left it. It's a recent thing, and I wondered about it as well. I have no problem uploading image and thumb at the same time though, and all my thumbs are less than 12K 'cause I want them to load faster and be clicked :-)

She's beautiful and she looks really healthy! Congrats to both you and Katje!

Ahhh. I can see where that might be a problem if the merchant changed it to be more restrictive. Speaking as a merchant, I agree to the license insofar as my own license must be at least as liberal as the required license, allowing for commercial usage and limiting redistribution, and such. I can be MORE liberal if I choose, though. Just like I can add stuff to my package, give freebies and be as generous as I choose, but I can't take back any portion of the package from my buyers, I can add goodies and give freebies (so to speak) in my licence, but I can't rescind the benefits that have already been granted. Transfering ownership from ONE individual to ONE other individual, IMPO, is NOT redistribution or piracy, so wouldn't fall under that clause anyway.

I didn't see the previous discussion, but Renderosity doesn't hold copyright on any merchant product, so their license cannot supercede a merchant's license on his own product. Renderosity is only a consignment shop. They sell our stuff for a cut of the profits. Transfer of ownership decisions can only be made by the copyright owner, so it would be up to the creator to include that clause in the product-specific readme if he or she so chose. And even if the note is NOT included, all you have to do is ask the creator of the product. Contact information is in the Readme. If you have the original zip file downloaded from Renderosity, the ReadMe is in it (and probably has a name specific to the product, like "README-Goroth"). It's a requirement to include a ReadMe, and it's easy to find. If you can't find the readme, do a search for the product using the Renderosity search engine. If the product is still available, even if it's really old and buried on page 50 of the Victoria products, it will come up in the search results, and you can view the ReadMe via the ReadMe link on the order page. On the order page, there's also a direct link to the Merchant's Artist page, where you can IM or email. If the product is no longer listed and you don't know the maker, contact Renderosity for product support contact information. They'll have the info.

Very cool! Different, but not Koshini-cute.

I agree with Stormrage. Greed isn't a common trait. We are all end users, too. I don't know of a single merchant who uses ONLY their own stuff. I do want to say, though, that the Renderosity licence is VERY fair, and it's purpose is to protect both the merchant and the end user. We shouldn't fault Renderosity at all for the blanket restriction of distribution, as it is looking out for the best interest of every member. For legal simplicity, they must use ONE licence for all digital products, so the licence is broad in its spectrum. But again, I think it's very fair.

I suspect that if we took a poll of all 1000+ Renderosity merchants, we'd find that most would be okay with passing on software or files if they were honestly TRULY not being used anymore by the original purchaser. However, everyone who buys anything from Renderosity must first change the "I DO NOT AGREE" to "I AGREE" in the licence box on the order page in order to download any product, so it should be assumed FIRST, simply because it is stipulated in the licence agreement, that it is NOT okay to pass it on. If you want to pass it on, I would suggest contacting the merchant--whose contact information is required to be in the ZIP file, so if you have the original zip, you have the contact information--and ask. Probably nine times out of ten, the merchant will say "Sure! Thanks for letting me know."

Hmmm...Suddenly feeling the need to go roller skating...

Looks sleek. I love that new logo! Can't wait.
