Zbrush mesh extract and EULA

so far I vertex “box” model clothes in Carrara around my figures then take them into Zbrush and use brushes and zremeshing to further work on them but have seen the above technique and even though one would retopologise such mesh with Zremesh, dynamesh etc after doing clay build ups etc am wondering since it uses the original mesh as the starting point, does it compromise the EULA?

At this point I have no issues as am not actually sharing stuff I create I am pretty much a Zbrush noob  but need to know if I ever do.

Personally I do prefer to model clothes around a figure for multiple reasons anyway but for close fitting bodysuit stuff like stockings socks and underwear this technique would be useful.

It's still bound by the EULA since it's a derivative work.

I thought so too but I am willing to bet many do it as since it it is Zremeshed how would one know?

Yep, exactly. It's like the whole shrink wrapping is not allowed stance lol. After something is zremeshed, the only thing it has in common with the original is the shape.

The EULA allows stuff like this to create content for DAZ figures, you just have to be willing to remove it from distribution if DAZ deems your use unacceptable. I really don't see the issue.

Three Dimensional Works. DAZ wishes to encourage the expansion of the catalog of Content available to its users. Accordingly, User may access, use, copy, and modify the Content to create one or more derived or additional three-dimensional works provided that:

• any such derived or additional three-dimensional works are designed to require or encourage the use of Content available through the online DAZ store either by (i) requiring the use of such Content to function, or (ii) allowing only limited function when not used in conjunction with Content from the online DAZ store; and
• upon receipt of a written request from DAZ, User will immediately cease any and all distribution of the derived or additional three-dimensional works User has created from the Content, if DAZ has determined, in its sole discretion, that (i) such additional or derived work is substantially similar to or is a clone of existing Content; or (ii) such additional or derived work fails to require or encourage the use of Content available through the online DAZ store as described above.
