Hello,
I just want to look for some clarification regarding free-use and artwork and all that.
I have several 3d printers and would very much to have minis which resemble the artwork Paizo pushes out in their APs, Rulebooks, etc.
Would commissioning someone to sculpt 3d models based of the artwork be considered infringement? I would print them out and paint them myself.
If this is some like legal grey area, I would like to use this as a request for Paizo to hire someone to make the models and sell them online; just like their other digital content.
Thanks for your fandom. Please refer the Paizo Inc. Community Use Policy. This is the only legal guidance I can give.
