I have an important question. I just bought the Student version of Cinema V.8 and was wondering if it is legal to use it to make a non-profit game mod? Is there a simple yes/no answer to this?

i would say YES ... you may do everything with this version except commercial work

Yeah you can. You are not making money from it so yes. What do you mean by non-profit though? My understanding would be you are selling stuff but all profits are either pulled back into the company or passed onto either a charity or service. That might be a grey area, which will need clarification.

I think non-profit is "you can download it for free" - a bit like They Hunger for HalfLife?

I simply meant like just making a mod for a game no financial anything involved. What I meant by NON-profit is that like most mods that are made, I would not make money off of the project.

You can't use a student license to make commercial work. If your work is personnal or/and free then there are no problems to that.

Ok, so you mean free or freeware. FYI 'Non-profit' means something completely different. There are businesses that run as Non-profit organisations, and they are essencially the same as normal business, but the flow of the money is different. A lot of charities and what I would call '.org' companies work like that. Eg guilds, clubs etc.

NO, its not a club or organization! I'm simply a kid wanting to make a mod. There is no money involved whatsoever.
