How do I legally share my 'kit bashes'?

nathn007

Hello, I've got a question (obviously) and I was hoping to get an answer and better understand the legal side of my idea.
So, I've been using assets I've purchased over the years to make custom minis I use in TTRPGs, and have recently been curious about sharing (as .stl files) some of the character minis I've made using these assets, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes or doing something illegal with the intellectual properties of other artists.
What is the standard license for these assets? and do I need to get some kind of Creative Commons license to be allowed to share the .stls I've made using these assets?

The Standard licence definitely does not cover this.

As pointed out the current license doesn't allow for the sharing or commercial use of any mesh objects used for printing or the results from printing. Only for personal use.

is there a license available that does allow such a thing?

Nope. there was talk about creating a commercial license for printed items, but I haven't seen anything on it yet. You could try contacting DAZ to see if they might work with you, always worth a shot I guess. Funny, last year I stumbled on a simple site selling DAZ printed figures. I was going to report it to DAZ, but it got taken down before I could, so maybe they found it before I did, LOL

There is a section in the License Agreement about this but I have not seen such a license avalable. So, if you are interested you should contact Customer Service about it.
