i'm just curious. and before i start playing around with it too much. i was wondering  if there is anything stopping me from making animated movies videos for personal use even though i don't have the licensing to make money doing it.  i mean i know i can't sell anything i make because of licensing. but, i'm not sure if it's ok for me to make stuff and learn how to do it, and say post what i make on my personal facebook page to share with friends and family type thing.  anywho i just now for the first time am playing around with the timeline and ani-blocks. through few ani-blocks together and rendering just to see what it looked like since open GL seems to render in a couple seconds. figured i'd try to render out a few second avi.  i spent waaaaay to much on daz to just want to chance anything i'm not completely sure of.  and figured i should ask for some clearity on posting what i make with daz outside of still renders.

    The interactive license is only for 3D products like games in which the actual mesh and textures are potentially exposed to users. The standard license covers any rendered work.

    i thought the standard liciense ONLY covered still image renders. meaning, that's all i can make money on anyhow. did they change that over the years?  not that i plan on making money on anything. haven't even made a dime on still image renders.  invested $thousands$, haven't made a single cent with it. but to get this right, anything i create in the actual daz program i can share, or even have rights to sell my animated movie/skit. saying i actually make one. knowing this, i might just slow down on making still images and start dabbling with making some animated stuff. TY

    What is an animation but a series of still renders?

    The Game developer and Interactive Licenses have always been for including the 3d content (and/or textures) in a game or app. Games or apps that use sprites or prerendered images or animations do not require the additional license, nor do stand-alone images and videos.

    Awesome, ty. I wanted to play around with animation. But didn't want to get into any trouble and chance losing my Daz account.

    The only products to be cautious about using in renders, still or animated, that are published - are those that were released with the editorial licenses. Daz3d won't bother you AFAIK, but there are other companies that might take exceptions ;-)  [this is not legal advice, just my 2 cents]
