GLBQuestion about RenderHub Licences
384
Good morning.
I apologize for the question that many have probably already asked, but searching the forum I couldn't find anything that completely answered me.
I am newbie self-taught 3D artist, and after months of self-taught study I want to try to sell my own content. I recently put an item up for sale, and I noticed that under "license" there is the wording "This item comes with our Extended Use Licensing. This means that you may use the model in a variety of mediums and applications. But, because certain intellectual property depicted in this model may not be affiliated with or endorsed by the original rights holder, this model is subject to an Editorial Use Only Restriction which limits the ways in which you may use this model".
At the same time, however, many similar articles instead reported "This item comes with our Extended Use Licensing. This means that you may use the model for both non-commercial and commercial purposes, in a variety of mediums and applications."
Now, considering that both the products were created by and for a standard Genesis figure, what causes mine to be IP Restricted while the others are for both commercial use?
I have read the information regarding the various types of licenses, although I don't think I fully understood them as English is not my native language. ABout that, I apologize for eventual grammar mistakes and I hope I exposed my question clearly.
I would like to understand the difference between these two types of licenses. Sorry for the beginner question, it's all still totally new to me.
Thanks and happy holidays

Hi TteSte89,
As I understand it, the IP Restricted part is automatic for 24 hours before entering the full non IP Restricted license. I do share your concern though, because unfortunately this practice is going to scare-off a lot of potential custimers if they view your product on the first day (and I'm guessing a lot do).
I suggested to RenderHub that a check-box to restrict the product from going live until the intended license is validated, would be a good idea. Not having this option is something that could be effecting sales because if they see that IP Restricted licence, those who need the unrestricted license likely will not bother looking again. I used to do exactly that until I was told about the 24-hour validation period thing.
Anyway, best to see what RenderHub say, and best of luck with your new store venture!

Mon, Dec 23, 2024Thanks a lot for your reply. It's clearer now.
Yes, I agree with your idea and hope to read more from Renderhub staff. I'm not expecting to sell who knows what, but if there's anything I can do to enable the extended license use for commercial use too, I'd definitively want to know for my next products.

Mon, Dec 23, 2024I think you can always add a license file in your package, or in the product description, to clarify the terms of the license you grant to your buyers.

Mon, Dec 23, 2024@COMIXIANT - Thanks for helping them.
And regarding your idea... There is already an open feature request for that. Hopefully, we might see this handled differently in the future.

Mon, Dec 23, 2024@guy91600 - Sorry, but vendors cannot do either of those things.
The actual RenderHub license would supersede and invalidate anything a vendor provided separately.

"... 8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the RenderHub Terms of Use constitutes the sole and entire agreement between Licensee on the one hand and RenderHub and the Seller on the other hand relating to your Purchase of a Digital Asset and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Digital Asset..."

@COMIXIANT is correct.
Since RenderHub is an open marketplace, products go live on the website immediately upon vendor submission.
A default license is assigned upon product submission, and that is the "IP Restricted" License.
After review, the appropriate license is assigned - usually within 24 hours. In that case, you may see an "IP Restricted" product lose that temporary restriction.
I see that your recent product has already been assigned the appropriate license.
I apologize for the confusion.

Yes, now everything is clear. Checking various products on here I saw sometimes one license, sometimes the other one, and I really couldn't figure out why. Thanks you all for your time.

You're welcome and it's great to hear it's being officially considered because it's gotta be effecting sales that one!
Thanks for the heads-up, it's much appreciated!

I have a particular request for vendors selling fan-based content. Would it be possible to have them include the property that their model is associated with in their descriptions for organizing purposes?
I have a large quantity of IP-related content and it's all filed by IP name (Final Fantasy for example) and sub-filed by version. Knowing that a product is associated with a specific IP is fine and all, but knowing which one is important too. Your vendor Summoner is especially guilty of this. With models clearly marked as fan-based but no IP name (resident evil for example). Would you please consider requiring this as a norm and having the current models updated to reflect this?
