"Paid wallpaper makers"

[K3NGJIZ]

So i started animating wallpapers ,and i discovered that some people make Custom animated wallpapers based of the photo you send, for money.Is that okay? Does wallpaper engine 'founder' allow this things to happend?

[Biohazard]

Yes, that's okay. In fact I think it would be cool if Steam had some kind of commissioning platform because every game/app with Workshop could benefit from that and it could ensure that all rights of the original authors are respected.

If you create everything from scratch I guess you're good but I've seen a lot of people using images from other artists and only apply the effects in WPE and including a Patreon or Paypal link in the description.

I'm not 100% sure but making some bucks with other peoples IP sounds like some kind of a troublemaker to me if you don't have the permission from the artist.

Depends on how it's shaped. If the person requesting the animated wallpaper has to supply the images for the wallpaper. The creator of the animation wallpaper can ask his 'client' to only submit art that he owns or has the proper rights for. (this is basically how printing companies etc. work)

Obviously people would still submit copyrighted art to the creators, but at least you can then shove the responsibility to the 'client'.

disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer :P but this is my general understanding of how other industries handle this issue.

Still, you're not supposed to make money out of art you created out of say the " sony logo " even if you're not the one supplying the image.

i mean i have been trying to find a way to pay someone to make me a wall paper for a bit now but no luck.

steam does have a system in place to get paid for your workshop stuff
the problem resside in wallpapper engine it self, since we don't use steam to publish stuff the option is not avalible/visible in your software. but....
click your name at the top click on activity then go in "my workshorp"
then you can see the option. "Enter or Update Your Payment Info"

see pic below and steam faq

That's not the same as the OP or I was talking about.

What you mean is the ability to create a wallpaper on your own, then put it up for sale. We did try this in the first 2 years of Wallpaper Engine and it did not work. There are a million free wallpapers it's a hard sell to just buy a random wallpaper if you can have a million for free.

What the OP meant was a commissioning situation where someone created a (private) wallpaper for someone else. Art commissions can easily be several $100 and the incentive for someone to pay is a lot higher since they'd get exactly what they wanted and not a random off-the-shelf wallpaper.

The adult aspect aside, this is exactly the kind of thing that may work for Wallpaper Engine too, yes. The Steam Workshop payment system doesn't work this way though. Maybe this kind of function will be added to Steam at some point, it wouldn't even need to be integrated into any apps and could work directly on the Workshop.
