Is it a good idea if i buy a Unity Team License and create a Meetup.com group in my city so that we can all share the assets we buy and even contribute to purchase assets for the whole group?
I don’t think that is aloud with most assets.
Then what’s the point?
Why do you even post asking to share assets?
You buy assets for yourself. You can’t just give them away. You’re taking potential sales from the developer of those assets.
Depends on where he is. If he’s in the EU he’s perfectly allowed to buy assets and give them to someone else, provided he destroys his own copies of the assets. Not destroying the “originals” would make it piracy though.
Ok, if it’s illegal then what’s this?
It is for your assets, or assets that have been purchased with a license that will allow you to have it on multiple computers.
It has nothing to do with Unity.
seem you confuse yourself with the purpose of asset server…it is made to allow people collaborate on a project not to share asset from asset store the way you propose it
You could start a Unity Usergroup in your area, this would be good for networking with other Unity devs and showcasing projects.
How can i tell? Where can see the terms and condition for each asset? There is nothing in the asset store page of each asset.
Can you show me an asset that has such restriction?
If that’s true then what’s this?
They already answered that. It’s for working in teams on projects. Not for a bunch of random people to swap assets.
The Team License specifically says it is just for that.
How can you work on a team when not everyone is on the same page because they don’t have the same assets to work with?
Some of my employees participate in collab. projects.
People who join collaboration projects have paid for their assets too. When project goes commercial, their team members pool money to buy assets and UnityPro for their team members.
That’s how two of my employees got Unity4 for free at their house.
Kinda weird since I forked out money for multiple UnityPro licenses and they get it for free via collaboration.
Someone needs to be big boss and pay for all the copies of UnityPro and asset licenses.
Remember to pay your people who work under you good wages.
If each team member needs to buy their own copy of the asset, then what’s this?
Ok, then what’s the Team License for if not to share assets as it describes in the official page?
It’s like version control system (VCS), but tailor-made for Unity.
If you use non-Unity projects, they will tell you a GitHub account (or equivalent) and you work with version control.
…but the official Team License page specifically says that you can share assets.
