Yeah it is different. You can't put a VN with Illusion assets or real-porn images up on Steam, cause the game doesn't own those assets. When you purchase assets on Daz-3D, you are explicitly purchasing a license to said content; and their user agreement explicitly spells out the permissibility of the user to both generate and market 2D renders from the 3D software and assets.
- Terms of Use. Two-Dimensional Works. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, User may (i) access, use, copy and modify the Content in the creation and presentation of two-dimensional animations and renderings, (ii) incorporate two-dimensional images (including two-dimensional images that simulate motion of three-dimensional objects) derived by User from the Content in User's other works, and (iii) publish, market, distribute, transfer, sell or sublicense User's two-dimensional animations, renderings and other works; provided that User may not in any case publish, market, distribute, transfer, sell or sublicense any renderings, animations, software applications, data or any other product from which any Content, or any part thereof, or any substantially similar version of the Content can be separately exported, extracted or de-compiled into any re-distributable form or format.

Again, compare that to Virt-a-mate's user agreement.

If you legitimately have a license separate from the bog standard normie one that everyone else would be limited to, you should say so and have it out and front. Hand-shakes and hearsay about 'blessings' isn't enough, when their own website has a pretty iron-clad and exhaustive end user agreement. Plus, it's not just Virt-a-mate itself, as it's a platform for community content. Are you using user generated content? How are the rights for that handled? Did they consent to having their community content used for commercial use by third parties? Does the Virt-a-mate team have the legal authority to do that (and if they do, that's pretty shit)?
