Copyright Question
Hello,
I am new to Daz. What a wonderful program. I am a graphic designer and I would like to create some 3D artwork using some purchased models from daz shop. I am intending on rendering out my models as a png file and selling the artwork to a few other designers to use in their print materials. Can someone let me know if this breaking any of the Daz copyright laws. I have emailed them but yet to receive a response. Hope someone can set me in the right direction.
Thanks Vanessa:cheese:

So, in general, for rendered 2D works - they're yours to use in any way you see fit.

The DAZ Eula applies to essentially all the products you can buy in the DAZ store.
