Renderotica

Hi. I am VERY new to this and I've been buying content like crazy, mostly poses and presets like cum, anal shapes, props...etc. I'm using them to make a short 3d comic book and if it is popular I'd like to make more and put them up for sale. The question is: is this legal? I do NOT want to disrespect the artists or fuck anyone over, but I REALLY don't want to stand in front of a judge and explain why I illegally used other's content in a porn comic and why I shouldn't have to pay a huge fine and not go to jail! 

So...to be clear...I am creating my own images with characters I created fresh in Daz4, but I am using preset poses, scenery and cum splashes I have purchased from other artists to create a comic book. Am I going to go to jail if I sell it? Will I piss off the artists if I publish it? 

Thanks for any help in advance.

Every product you buy should come with a license along with a Read Me file.  Read them and take nothing for granted.

Usually in the comic business, Most props are sold and given the right for commercial use.  If you use freebies then you should ask permission of the vendor. Best to save any corespondence in that regard. and at the back of your stories create a disclaimer page, and thank the vendors who gave you the products to work with.  Do not have to go name by name but just do an overall thank you, but for the freebies give them a shout by name

There has been talk about having to buy a 2nd license for animation creation as some of these figures have the ability to appear in an video game and the original license may not pertain that medium.

As mention, so not share your products or resell them,  THAT WILL get you in hot water.. That license was intended for you and you only.and yes every country has their own rules in regards to production of comic art and what is taboo.and if you post here, get in touch with store management and be ready to have samples.

If you are thinking about comics Might I suggest Plasq's Comic Life   It's awesome comic software and cheap

Don't be afraid to ask questions in the forums as that is the way you learn and comic artists have increased tenfold since I came on board

My basic legal understanding is that when you purchase an item from DAZ, a character, clothing items, props or hair etc. [basically any 3D digital model with associated materials, textures, shaders and rigging] you aren't actually purchasing the model but a license to use that model to produce 3d art, animations and still frame renders. For some products at DAZ you can purchase an additional Interactive license usually for an extra $50 or so. This allows you to use the model in a game which you sell on. But not all sellers permit such use and they don't sell an additional add on interactive license

Also usually unless you have an interactive license they don't like you to export to another program and remodel but Hexagon transfers back and force are probably okay to do custom morphs.

As someone has mentioned always check your eula if unsure or if in doubt with legal jargon just contact the seller and they will be happy you asked for clarification.

My understanding is similar for rendo products but check with individual sellers.

Hope that helps.

I must admit I hate reading eulas as well.

PS. Although most sellers probably don't mind their products being used for adult products I believe that part of US and other countries copyright law allows a seller to expect that their product will be used in a way they deem appropriate. So a seller is entitled to object to the use of a product in adult work [or work in which they see is against their values or denigrates the quality of their work].
