If this case goes to court, it will be interesting who the court decides has the right to, if at all, sell these particular NFTs of the "Tiger King".
Gawd, why do I find this whole business in really poor taste? I mean, a lot of it really seems low and shady. Am I the only one? It just seems....tawdry somehow.
And I'm not talking just about the Tiger King story, although, wow...those images. Gah.
I don't know how many times Richard has to say that isn't happening, but I really doubt that is anything to worry about.
...this is my concern as well, since anyone can "right click save as". The advent of NFTs may actually promote digital art theft and there's absolutely nothing we as artists can do about it.save for pulling all our work offline, and then what is the prupose? There is no "copy protect" unless that is somehow disabled by the hosting site. However even that isn't foolproof as one can still take a screen shot and crop all the surrounding imagry out.
...but what about sites like DA?
DeviantArt has a copyright and usage option at the bottom whenever you submit an image. Nothing is going to stop thieves from trying to steal art, but no gallery endorses or openly allows it, people who sell others' art without permission are breaking the law regardless.
...the pin that pierces the bubble.
...tell me about it. Last night when I went to bed there were five pages. This evening when I got on there were eighteen
It makes the old Complaint thread look like it's moving at a geologic pace.
probably really 40 pages
..If I ever can make it back to Green Bay WI in late July I can attend the Green Bay Packers Shareholder Meeting at LambeauField (10 shares).
...hmm, I wonder if a roo can leap into lunar orbit.
Well that's the thing, I do not think it will make any difference for those particular NFTs, in fact, it could make them worth even more because they become more well known (Sales voice: "Now but these exculsive NFTs from the Tiger King court case, there are only 12 of them"). The pictures are not the sole unique identifiers but more like the pictures on a baseball card, buying the baseball card does not give you the copyright of the baseball card or the picture on the baseball cards. Maybe they have to remove the pictures from the NFT (not sure how that works), but as far as I can see the NFT would not nessecarily be stopped from existing.
But if anyone else know, perhaps they can clarify.
...I'm still wondering about the rendering Bridge in the Daz programme Advanced Render Settings which is apparently still in "beta" mode.
It works fine.. what are you wondering about?
...the old galleries were sort of like that. If your work was selected you received a 25$ voucher (basically store credit). I felt it really incentivsed people to put submit their best work.
...for the time being I have removed my gallery as I am getting a number of confusing signals regarding ownership..
...actually more like a moped compared to a Concorde which has four 1960s era afterburning turbojet engines. A 747 (even the first generation) is more efficient than that as it was powered by the first high bypass turbofan engines. Basically, afterburners dump large amounts of fuel into the hot exhaust a th rear of the engine to increase thrust making it possible to exceed Mach 1. This is why a one way ticket on a 747 to London from New York was around 300USD whereas on the Concorde was upwards of 6,000USD.
.Apologies, aviation geek here.
Not sure if this has been brought up but I'd have at least expected this work to be fully animated instead of simply done in a program like photoshop (the reflection isn't animated). Forget about the environmental impact debate, this is stretching it in terms of what's worth a gas fee.
Link to the work directly from Daz themselves (I expect this to be removed): https://opensea.io/assets/0x63e0eab409f1c1e737aad225003d709b57dbe9e5/5
I agree, that's probably a far better analogy.
...there actually is malware which does this.
....I remember years ago when NBC changed the format for their Nightly News programme where anchor Tom Brokaw would stand on a stage with a bank of video screens behind him just like in the film.
They still use that format (though updated) and others have adopted it as well.
In any case, everyone needs to put visual watermarks on all the art they care about, right through the middle, with your name or website. If you don’t have Photoshop, you can use free phone/tablet apps like Snapseed or PS Express to do it. Don’t stop showing your art, just protect it and it’s actually great marketing for you too!
So that's reasonable. I have no interest in NFT with regard to selling them myself, I have other interests, learning to animate and making games with those newly learned skills; but I could see a future in games such that NFTs were offered as part of a game IAP so this in DAZ is educational.
If DAZ did start allowing it's users to sell NFTs for me it would just be yet another thing interfering with my focus on the goals I already have.
I hate using watermarks like that but you do make a very valid point in using them to protect your art. I have photoshop and wasn't aware that you could add a copywright with it. Something to check out, thanks.
This is stupid. This is stupid for every reason listed thus far and more. There's little I can say that hasn't been discussed or mocked outright.
..185$ would be a new 2 TB SSD for my content library to replace the HDD I currently have or a 48GB memory kit . Much more useful.
...who's servers is it on? What doesit cost?
....sadly don't have PS for creating watermarks or posting a copyright, only Gimp, an old version of PSP, and Krita.
IIRC, you need to set the server up yourself with proprietary NVIDIA technology. Basically it's a paywall so corporations can't set up a render farm without paying for an enterprise license.
...ah thanks. So useless then as I don't have a render server.
I was under the impression Daz was setting up an in house render service. That would be much more valuable to and useful for the community than selling NFTs, particularly as the NFT thing along with cryptomining and a silicon shortage has made getting new powerful GPUs a trying and expensive venture.
Selling NFTs isn't for the community Daz already has, it's to attract the people who make NFTs so they'll use the Daz Studio platform.
