I Have a question: I have a potential new client that has a little character that someone has drawn for him. its a little BOX man with arms and legs he call "Giffy " for his Crystal business I have met with him in person He has seen my character animation work and wants me to make "giffy in to an animated character. for use on his company web site. he just called me yesterday to announce that his company is merging with another so the stockvalue of his business is " about to explode" blah blah blah. ( Admittedly MY B.S. detector is no full alert!!) Any way i could model this little box man easily in Lightwave or Cinema 4DXl-7 and rig him in MY Propac setup room. I would do this because i would prefer to animate him in poser and export the animations as flash due to flashes broad cross platform web compatibility. I have the incredibleTad Crawford Book" Business and legal forms for Illustrators" which has A CD rom of customizable contracts for almost any Commission / licenseing situation. But i am at a loss as to what degree of ownership i shouldor can retain of the output from the animation i created using the model I created of HIS trademarked character any one know of a legit web source that covers a scenario like this??
