Which licenses do I need for a VN made with VAM VoDs and Screenshots?

[whocares0]

Hello sirs,

- i have VAM license
- VAM content that users upload is licensed for commercial use WITHIN VAM (if you have permission from user)
- But Renpy isnt VAM, so I use DAZ content thats licensed for VAM, outside of VAM. So I need a DAZ license? Which one and for how long?
- Who would you ask? Laywer is hard to find and costs money. Can I ask DAZ support maybe? Im kinda lost besides this forum and VAM forum

Ty for reading!

for daz3d license is for simulation

example: Grand theft auto, call of duty

animation/still images are fine without a license

As an indie dev working under a pseudonym, based outside USA, with a 0.01% chance of making >10000$ using crowdfunding? no need for any license, just go for it.

As a commercial games studio based in the USA or EU, with proper development budget and an intention to make >$100K in sales via major platforms? ehhhh, maybe be careful.

Your question worded really weirdly, so I'll kind of write this in a way that makes a bit more sense.

1. If you're using rendered 2D images of Daz assets in Ren'py: You only need the standard license that comes with the purchase of the model.
2. If you're using Daz models in Unreal or any interactive gameplay engine: You need an Interactive License alongside the purchased asset/model
3. If you're using Daz models inside of VAM: According to the VAM devs, to use Daz models in VAM you need an interactive license as it is considered a realtime environment typically used for VR. Daz content isn't inherently licensed for VAM. So, again, to use Daz assets in VAM, you typically have to acquire an interactive license.

Like osanaiko said, you can always chance just saying fuck it and using them anyway. Chances of Daz/Tafi or VAM actually doing anything about it is slim to none. Especially if you're a foreigner.

Ty for all the useful answers!
Im EU country and I dont plan to make any money at all but I just want to be safe and have the option open if I ever decide to change plans but good to know that it actually prob wont matter.

To be clear, I think point 1 and 3 are both relevant for me. I use Daz models inside of VAM and then screenshot / VOD them to use 2D images of the DAZ assets from VAM in Renpy.

I got a lot of different information tho... For example, in VAM forum one guy said VAM is already DAZ licensed if you stay inside VAM, while you mention that VAM devs say its the other way around. But you are probably right.

I guess if I message DAZ and ask them what I need I have probably everything covered. Lets see if they answer these questions.
