    Except for an early figure, Anna Marie Goddard, I think it is,  you can do imagery and animation and use it however you like for images or videos or game sprites.

    i don't understand 

    so i cannot use any product except anna 

    or i can use any product except anna 


    i wasn't going to do an animation just some renders so i though it was open source

    Daz content is not open source. 

    But the license agreement (EULA) for content sold at Daz allows you to use 2D renders or animations you create with it however you want (with an additional restrictions in the case of Anna Marie Goddard clone)

    Daz content is not 'open source', and even for things that are you need to be clear which open source licence is being used because the terms can be quite different (e.g. GPL vs. MIT).

    Best thing to do if you are unsure after reading the EULA is to contact the Daz Help Center and get an 'official' statement regarding what you want to do.

    Anything rendered with the items you buy can be used any way you want, except 3d Printing. What you can't do is use the mesh of the content, e.g. in a game, without purchasing a license for each item. The rendered images can be compiled into a video, used as avatars, or on websites, as can animations.

    You don’t buy the content itself, you buy a license to use it for specific purposes. Images you created with it are yours (though the license can restrict what you’re allowed to do with them, like for some freebies which don’t allow commercial use), but the rights to the actual content still belong to its creators.

    You have been told here that you can use the content to make any 2d images for whatever reason, either static or animated,  and you can sell them as well.   You have been told that by a moderator and a CV. (and now a 2nd moderator.)

    It is perfectly normal to buy a thing and have its future use restricted in some way, especially digital assets.  Have a look at the EULA for music bought through Itunes or ebooks bought for a Kindle for example.

    The short answer to your question is, "Yes. Daz content is copyrighted."

    With any copyrighted material, such as Stock Photography, you are purchasing a "license to use" the materials, but the copyright owner remains the same. There is a licensing agreement that covers what you can and cannot do with the materials you license, whether or not you paid a fee to license the materials.

    In the case of content you purchase from Daz, what you can and cannot do with that content is stated in the EULA. And if all you want to do is create youtube videos with images you have rendered, either stills or animation, you are well within the EULA to do so, even if you make money from advertisements through Youtube. But it's still a good idea to read the licensing agreement.
