Freelance artist and licensing

jonrowlison

I am an author, but was a proficient user of the very first versions of DazStudio (and Poser through V7.)

For book promotion, I'm plannng on purchasing comercial distribution licenses and using DazStudio to render custom scenes of characters. While I could do the posing, lighting, and rendering myself I was hoping to hire a professional Daz artist to take care of that part as my skills definitely lie elsewhere... but I want to own the products used for renders, to purchase the commercial license for any products used in my renderings so I have an option to re-use those products later.

Is there a license model that will let me purchase DazStudio items and 'loan' them to an artist for the duration of their use and then have the assets remain with me afterward? It's entirely possible I could just have the artist use what they have and then I buy licenses for the same products so I can use their saved scene files. That only limits me to only requesting things that the artist already owns.

Is this a crazy scenario? I'm halfway decent with Daz still, but on a commercial venture I'd look to professionals to do what they have trained to do.

No - though I should point out that for 2D work you don't need anything but the basic license, the Interactive License is needed only for games and so that will include the actual 3D data/textures (or a derivative thereof).
