Using Daz Products in Advertisements

pufflehuff

I work for a small company and I was intersted in using Daz products in some of our advertisements. The example below seems to use older assets, a V4 model and the Millennium Dragon.

Are there any specific rules for using purchased assets in comapny advertisements?

Basically, all 2D work and animations are free to do with what you want as long as your not distributing or selling the meshes of the products your using or any other mesh created on Daz, but you may want to refer to the EULA for better detail.

Also be sure to read the readme's that come with the product. Almost all vendors state explicitly what you may or may not do with their products in a readme.

Readme's for most of the products in the store can be found here. All you need to do is get the SKU # from the product page and look it up to view the readme. If you use DIM to install your products right click on the product ad select the "!" with a circle around it, next to any of the following, Download/Install/Uninstall buttons.

Note that there is a difference between:

1.

Q: I found this old picture that I know used a V4 model and the Millennium Dragon. It uses Daz stuff.... so it's free to use, right?

A: No. You need to contact the artist who made that picure and get their permission, unless they already placed it under Creative Commons.

2. 

Q: I have an old V4 model and the Millennium Dragon in my runtime. I can render them in 2D to create artwork for an ad, right?

A: Yes, nearly all store-bought Daz and Poser assets are royalty-free to use for your creative renders, apart from some freebies which forbid commercial use in their terms, and some which are very near to being fan-art. For the latter, if it looks too good to be true, then check with some popular culture nerds to see if it resembles something in a game, movie, TV series and so on.
