Hey everybody,

I’m looking for somebody who can create a 3D figure of an own drawing. It is kind of a cute looking
teddy bear. In future this "bear" is about to present different fitness exercises.

It would be very important, that the figure is confidential and the 3D Model is for me only. So no selling in the DAZ shop.

If there is interest in this job, please write me a message with information about:
- how long would it take?
- how much it would take?
- how much would cost to animate this figure (e.g. crunches or push ups)
- do you have any kind of document to ensure that this figure will only be for me?

Thanks and best regards

    You could ask 3DUniverse who is a PA here at DAZ, he specializes in animated characters.

    I would suggest you do a little research. A full rigged and textured model will cost considerably more than the prices you see here in the DAZ store for a model.

    And then there is the issue of copyright. You are expecting to have exclusive rights which will require you to purchase the copyright for the model from the artist. That alone can run into the thousands of dollars and then there are the legal fees since it always wise to hire an attorney who specializes in copyrights to handle such things.

    While I am usually the first to say "contact an attorney", in this case.... In the US, all that is necessary is a document that states that the item is a "work for hire." Meaning that *all* rights to the work go to the purchaser. Something as simple as a letter with both purchaser and artist's names, the price and the statement that the project is a "work for hire" will stand in court.

    In many cases, US Courts will rule in the favor of the Purchaser if there is a dispute but the Purchaser can show that the item(s) in question were the Intellectual Property (IP) of the Purchaser before the work began and there is no written agreement. Many Courts will presume "work for hire" if money has changed hands in a "service" oriented transaction. So, the impetus for the attorney really sits with the Artist.

    In any case, research is definitely warranted. Also, official registration of the IP *before* contacting anyone about it is wise.

    For us it varies. Some are handled by our in-house legal department, others are handled by larger outside law firms. It often depends upon the exact terms and complexity of the contracts, not to mention who the client is. The bigger the client, the more money that's involved the more likely it gets handed off to an outside firm.

    Clients love to call me to whine and cry about contracts and costs. I end up making sympathetic noises and then kick them over to legal like I've been told.
