If you sell the NFT, does the .OBJ go with it? Or is that a first sale thing only? 

I have no idea, I don't actually know how the OBJ is going to be delivered. If you want to know for sure I would suggest asking Sales Support, though I will see if I can learn a bit more.

Thanks, Richard! I can't actually afford any of these, but I'm curious as to how it all works.

Well then, there is even less to worry about. Either way, I'm not really interested in buying digital art, but I don't see how this will negatively affect any of us. 

Have you checked any of the NFT listings? They include 3D assets. My worry is that Daz will start selling certain assets exclusively as NFT's.

Well, I asked a similar question in the other thread and was quickly "reassured". I'm not convinced by the reassurance yet, however. 

The NFT doesn't change the thing it is made from, which remains as it was and so doesn't gain any protection. Using an NFT as a key to enable the content in a specific application (assuming the content was supplied in a non-readable form) would not be practical, as Daz_Rawb has explained seveal times, and wouldn't do anything that encrypted Connect content didn't do as far as I can see.

With all due respect, this isn't the DRM question that Rawb has explained several times, this is about the potential for DAZ asset content being exclusively sold through the NFT market. You say that it isn't practical, yet in the listings themselves written in black and white, clear as crystal, are mentions of said assets being included, as can be seen highlighted in the attached image.

Can we then be assured that it isn't Daz' intention to sell future content exclusively through said NFT market? Again, that is my worry that I mention here. Nothing to do with DRM itself.

As I understand it, at the moment it costs around $130 to list your art on there, you can only sell limited quantities, and it's someone else's platform. I don't see any reason why they would ever want to move all their assets onto the blockchain. The blockchain is useful for transactions that need authentication, and that pass through many hands. but when you are dealing with a product that is purchased once only, there would be absolutely no advantage to it. The only time that would be useful is if they wanted to allow you to resell your assets to someone else. 

As for the NFT, they are simply offering a bit more value to the people who buy the art. What I would like to know is whether we can resell those assets when we sell the original art work?

I can't help wonder what gave people the idea that Daz would indirectly sell their stuff (so.. attach an NFT to the artwork and then sell that). IMO the whole idea is kinda dumb, because if you're afraid that the big bad company is going to sell your stuff then why did you upload it to their gallery in the first place?  Instead of, say, using a site which is fully dedicated to sharing digital artwork and which also clearly specifies what rights you have, lose and retain?

Of course my sentiment is two-folded because I also think it can be a good move to make a statement. Personally I think this whole NFT thing is really bad, I would even go as far as to describe it as a system that's prone to scam people out of their money, and personally I don't understand why anyone would want to get involved with this (for other reasons than trying to cash in a load of money of course, there's always that).

I guess time will tell.

I can see deleting your Gallery, but I hope you are selective about deleting your posts.

If you posted a good question, or good response to somebody elses question, I hope you don't throw the baby out with the bath water and delete that too.....
