Licensing of derivative models #375

Closed Calandiel closed 1 year ago

Calandiel commented 2 years ago

In #215 it was pointed out that the AGPL licensed models are, well, AGPL licensed and thus their licensing is viral. How would that apply, however, to derivative models? Let's say that some model was retopologized, for example with Blenders voxelization utilities. Could such a model be licensed under a different license or would that count as a derivative of the base AGPL model? What about models constructed from renders? There are ways to create topologies out of as few as 3 images from different angles.

derivative models are completely above board however most of the community members simply made a solution by creating Charmorph which has "Reom" which only requires attribution and is 100% commercial friendly. You can also become a part of the discord community while you're at it.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that tool but by the looks of it, it won't be suitable for my use case. I'm looking for characters roughly in the shojo manga style and partially as targets for further sculpting ^^

@Calandiel would love to know a little more about your experience using it for the purpose of achieving anime/manga character looks, I just found out about this and it looks very promising

Thanks in advance

I use hand made models now. Sorry for a disappointing answer. If you want a similar esque tool, I suggest using VRoid instead. Though, that's not really following the subject of the issue anymore, is it.

I'll close it since the original question was answered.
