Using genesis geometry for geografting confricts EULA?

zgock

HI. I am making Custom Head for Genesis with geografting technology.

when making geograft parts. usualy use genesis's poligons a bit for smooth connecting.

(ex. use 1 loop of neck polygons)

if I publish freebie with these polygons. Does it violate the EULA?

thx.

No it doesn't. The EULA was updated a couple of years ago to accommodate things like Geo-Grafts. The main principle is that the derived work (in the case of Geo-Grafts, a work using rings of polys from Genesis, etc.) must "require or encourage the use of Content available through the online DAZ store".

See this post in particular, from this page.

The use of a loop for GeoGrafting is generally allowed under the section reading:

Three Dimensional Works. DAZ wishes to encourage the expansion of the catalog of Content available to its users. Accordingly, User may access, use, copy, and modify the Content to create one or more derived or additional three-dimensional works provided that:

any such derived or additional three-dimensional works are designed to require or encourage the use of Content available through the online DAZ store either by (i) requiring the use of such Content to function, or (ii) allowing only limited function when not used in conjunction with Content from the online DAZ store; and

upon receipt of a written request from DAZ, User will immediately cease any and all distribution of the derived or additional three-dimensional works User has created from the Content, if DAZ has determined, in its sole discretion, that (i) such additional or derived work is substantially similar to or is a clone of existing Content; or (ii) such additional or derived work fails to require or encourage the use of Content available through the online DAZ store as described above.

thanks a lot. I could not find that thread.

my freebie is testing now. It will be published for free in few days.
