Excellent question 4U2GES
I gave up on DAZ when CC enabled us to make our own contents, not because of their quality. Rather it was because of their useage rights within CC and iclone. I believe we can only use them for personal use????
I like to create contents and sell them in my marketplace store if I like the results. I don't believe that is allowed with DAZ so as stated, that's why I gave up on them. I stick with iClone and CC only so I can put what I do in my store.

What about DAZ figures. Now that CC3 would convert them to CC format, they could be saved with various .CC* extensions. Apply enough morphs, amend texture/materials, apply mixed cloth (CC/DAZ), some accessories and nobody could tell it was a DAZ character. Is the resulted character would be constituted as a CC or DAZ character?

Thanks for this info. Very good. I read somewhere that merchandising based on models purchased are limited an XXX amount of units I assume prints, paper replications, imprints or mold figures, as a whole but not sure.

One more point I forgot with the 3rd point.
If you buy exportable objects and you export and modify them in 3D modellers like Blender and bring it back to iClone or CC.
Then if you have modified them reasonably enough then you are allowed to sell them in realusions marketplace only, they can only be sold for use in reallusions software.  (or in their store if you lucky enough to have your modified model chosen by them)

Also, they will appear in the marketplace as a derived content. Meaning people will need to buy (or already own) the original model/models that you modified in order to use your modified version

Yes, I would like to see the response you get from marketing too if you don't mind.
As I understand it, and I hope its right? Also when I state something I try to use simplified non high level wording so it make sense to many people. Whether that works or not ????

1) Make your own complete character in a 3D modeller like Blender, import it into iClone through 3DXchange and use iclone to create your own animations with iclones animating tools and not any animations that come with the software or you have bought. This model is totally yours and you can do whatever you want with it. I hope that is correct.

2) Use any characters, clothes, animations that are purchased from reallusion's store or from the marketplace (even CC characters) without paying export pricing. You are completely free to sell any videos you make in iClone using them but that's all. Only the videos itself. You can only use the characters in your own iClone  software. Cannot use them in game engines, nor in 3D modelling software like Blender and you cannot sell or share the models.

3) Use any characters, clothes, animations that are purchased from reallusion's store or from the marketplace (even CC characters) and pay the exportable price for them. You can use them in games that you sell. You can export them to 3D modellers to adjust them and then import them back into iClone or CC. But you cannot sell the models themselves. Just Games or videos that you make using them.

I think that's right but I am not 100% sure of all of it so it would be good to hear confirmation

Hi Gymnist,
I was actually looking into this. Any chance you can share the answer you received (or when you get it) on this thread?
Especially the part of modifying an existing model and creating merchandise/youtube shows as a base.
Thank you
