1. Foreword
The order to follow is: Creative Commons < General Rules < Special rules on the deviation page < Written permission.
Which means that these rules override certain items of the Creative Commons license, and in turn, the rules stated in the deviation's description may override certain items of this document. Additionally, you may ask for special permissions in a note, but that will only apply to the item in question.

Lack of lingual skills (i.e. not speaking English) is not an excuse. You must fully understand the rules. If you do not understand something, have somebody else who is better at English translate it to you. Do NOT use Google Translate.


Terminology:

  • MMD: in this case, it also includes MMM.
  • Third-party application: any application that is not MMD, MMM, or one of their utilities.
  • Model: a complete character with body, face, hair, and optionally clothes.
  • Part: an item made specifically to be used as part of a model. Also includes accessories that are attached to the model in MMD.
  • Stage: a 3D scenery or backdrop.
  • Commercial purpose: use for sale, or revenue-generating purposes. This includes "charging [people] for the work, not the materials." No exceptions - if money changes hands, it's a commercial purpose.


2. You must:

  • Credit me when you use my work. See how to do it at the bottom of the document.
  • Ask me before you edit and redistribute my Models, humanoid and not humanoid alike.
  • NEW: ask for permission before using my work in MMD-Mall 's Model of the Month contest. This is so I can check whether using it would result in disqualification.

3. You may:
  • Use my work in MMD.
  • Use my work to create and share pictures and animations in MMD.
  • Edit my work.
  • Distribute your finished* model that has my work on it. Crediting is necessary.

* Finished: base + hair + complete outfit + accessories


5. You may NOT:

  • Use my work for commercial purposes.
  • Claim my work as yours.
  • Redistribute, sell or resell my original work.
  • Sell a Part or a Model that includes my work.
  • Use a part of my Models or Stages in your own, unless I give you permission.
  • Distribute a Part based on my work or a part of it, unless I give you permission.
  • Special restriction (in effect from the 15th of March, 2015): you may not use any of my works in pictures, videos, models and deviations featuring characters from or based on the following franchises (the list may change in the future):
    • None - all special restrictions have been removed.
6. Third-party applications
  • The rules above, plus the following:
  • You are allowed to convert my work to third-party formats (such as OBJ or 3DS) for private purposes.
  • You are allowed to create and share pictures or animations made in third-party applications using my work.
  • You are NOT allowed to share my work that you had converted to a third-party format.
    • This includes sharing through multiplayer games that allow you to load and display custom models to other players, such as (but not limited to) Second Life and VRChat.

7. Notes:


You can reach me:

  • By note
  • My e-mail address: wampa842@gmail.com
  • On Skype: Wampa842

To place my name in the description, you can write:

  • @ Wampa842
  • :dev Wampa842:
Or to place my icon:
  • :icon Wampa842:
In all cases, remove the space, so you'll get something like this:
Wampa842

Is it OK if the USA flag counts a country flag? It might also be an accessory for hand use.

yes as this falls under CC, CC allows you to edit and modify the disclosed thing, however the original must be given due credit, however outside of that CC holders are pretty much powerless, plagerising they can legally fuck you over, so if anyone asks you have to say "i edited it"

Wampa842 Question here. I've been learning to use pmx editor to make my own unique VR chat character (and of course to just learn basic animation), and wondered if I could use your short jacket, since its the most amazing jacket for mmd I've seen so far, but I'm a bit vague on wherether its only disallowed for (sharing) on vr chat, or also disallowed for my own character? I wont download it until I'm totally sure its alright to use it, but I hope I am able to though. It is awesome :3

Wampa842 In reply to yndegirl [2018-07-27 19:41:03 +0000 UTC]

It is currently not allowed in any way to use it in VRChat or similar on-line multiplayer games that allow users this kind of customization.

Stress on the word "currently". Once I get off my ass, I'll try to write an actual license that may be a little more permissive.

Alright! While I'm of course disappointed, I'm still very happy you replied to my post ^_^ I've seen a lot of misuse of models and parts from DeviantArt on games like VR chat and the like, so I understand why many of you mmd creators are skeptical about it. I was just unsure about that point in general rules, and you clarified that. So thanks Me not being able to use it doesn't change the fact that your stuff is awesome, just wanted to comment that xD

I was wondering, if it okay if I have a friend of mine convert a model you made into a format the program I use (Comipo) is compatible with. it's for my personal use in my comics, and I would credit you!

Wampa842 In reply to SaraleiNighthaven [2016-10-22 11:44:01 +0000 UTC]

Sure. As long as you don't make it available for the public, it's completely fine.

And thanks for asking. It's surprisingly rare that people ask permission for something that's not covered by the rules.

Hey, I got a little confuse on the part where you say "You May Not: Use a part of my Models or Stages in your own, unless I give you permission"

I wanted to use one of your skydomes on other stage and I got confuse by that rule, I don't know if you mean like redistribute it or something else.

Wampa842 In reply to ElyArakaki [2016-01-08 22:49:45 +0000 UTC]

You can use a stage and my skydome within the same scene, but you can't merge the two models.

U-Uhm...I-I was hoping to use one of your stages in a game im making. I-I dont know if i can now though. M-may I? 
I'm scared now...The game's characters aren't from any listed franchise, they're...actually not well known...uhm...

Wampa842 In reply to devil-of-a-cat [2016-01-01 12:24:39 +0000 UTC]

If it's a true 3D game that you want to share, then no because:

  • You are NOT allowed to share my work that you had converted to a third-party format.

You're only allowed to use it if you want to use a rendered picture of it in a 2D game.

devil-of-a-cat In reply to Wampa842 [2016-01-02 02:03:24 +0000 UTC]

its actually only in cutscenes, for short segments. The game play portion is on something else. Like snapshots as too whats going on in non-chibi-sprite form

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Wampa842 In reply to devil-of-a-cat [2016-01-02 02:06:00 +0000 UTC]

If it's only a 2D picture or video, then you can use it. The only prohibition is converting the model itself into a game model.

Well... since I'm actually trying to migrate to another renderer, I'm considering the revision of my third-party software rules to allow some leniency.
Which stage did you have in mind?
