Selling in Second Life

[gabbycat]

Hi - I have read the license and the summary and honestly I'm still confused. Can I use Makehuman to make avatars to sell in Second Life or other virtual worlds?

You can use them for whatever the fuck you want. That's the tl;dr version of MH license.

Did you read the CC0 license? It's here: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

"You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission."

I don't know how any conceivable formulation can be clearer than this.

I missed that part and obviously wanted to make sure I was complying with their requirements. Thanks for the kind and helpful responses.

just to be somewhat detailed there are actually 2 different licenses in play here

1 The MakeHuman Program (and builtin assets): AGPL short version if you use all or part of the MH code (directly or by linking) your program MUST BE AGPL

2 Non builtin Assets and exported models: CC:0 mostly but check the assets you are using for exceptions (please be aware that the mesh is going to be HEAVY)

Go into Pose/Animate and set the skeleton to Opensim and the pose to t-pose then

Blender has a preset to ensure you export correctly SELECT ALL BEFORE DOING THE EXPORT

Hi gabbycat,

I work for a design software company, and we are looking for someone to develop realistic human figures (using Make Human) for our program. I'd love to see your work. Send me a private message so we can discuss details.

Thanks,

Meshete
