In this instance I have to side with Capcom. I can see where the artist might wish that they had a per-use royalty though.
Turned the other way this could have been an opportunity to show the value of purchasing this book and CD combo.
- q3k 5y agoI also believe this could've been an honest mistake. There's tons of royalty-free texture CD packs from the '90s and '00s, and this could've been confused for one of them.
- dagw 5y ago"ready to use" and "royalty free" are two completely separate things. At the same time its quite understandable that the artists at Capcom made that mistake. At every studio I've worked there is a big shared network drive full of textures, shaders, images and reference models where people upload interesting and useful things they find. And if I'm honest the license management of the assets on that shared drive isn't always what it should be.
