I was thinking Character Creator would be just the thing to build different characters until I saw this in the license:
(C) You may NOT use the Content in the following situations or applications:
- In-app content purchase
- In-app character generation
- Character generation API licensing
- As embedded content in the AP or online service
- AI training/ deep learning
try to see the common issue in all these scenarios:
the license prevents you
creating another character generator with Realusion assets
Passing your 2D renders through an AI post-process to create a specific art style is not what they are trying to prevent. (and if they were smart they'd add their own Stable Diffusion post-process as a paid plugin for CC and call it 'Art Mode' since SD users are jumping through hoops to get posed figures in AI art generators –– amateurs could easily generate their graphic novel in just CC...).
RL content (with a Standard licence) cannot be used in a character generation system to provide cosmetic options to your "customers". This has always been their policy. Now they are including trained AI models, presumably on the assumption that such a model would be made available to others and is essentially another character generator.
(think an RPG that can generate new characters in-game with AI trained models)
From this wording, your img2img renders are not a problem. But Dreambooth model training violates the standard licence.
MY OPINION: If a Dreambooth model is strictly 'in house' for generating your own 2D art, and the trained model is not shared, or available in a way where your customers can generate from the model, it would be difficult for RL to say that you are in competition with CC
