Not a modeling question per se, but need a modeling solution nonetheless. As a manufacturer, we use Inventor to model our fabrications and do various animations for service manuals, layout options, etc in 3DSMAX. As a result, many of our models are highly detailed. Some of our customers would like to use our models for their own marketing, but of course, I need to make sure our intellectual property is protected.
I will be using a licensing agreement, but was pondering if there is also some method of embeding a license or some type of disclaimer to individual models themselves - just in case. I could boolean our logo along with extract of license within the geometry itself (too small to be seen in rendering of course), but wonder if there is a better way.
If you just need to embed your company logo and copyright information, would adding a text object be an option? The text object does not render by default.
Just drinking (coffee) & thinking: There is the "notes" animation track, but that is easily deleted. There is the possibility of having a text message box pop up on scene open (via MaxScript). I'm uncertain if it would show on a "merge" or "import" though.
Hmm- that's it for me. Must need more coffee!

There are "PopUp Notes" - but they are part of a scene and will therefore only open when you load a scene, not when you import from some other filetype. How to enable Popup Notes
Not sure how you could really do it. Anything you do such as Boolean could be undone if someone wanted to. Probably the only way would be for the copyright information to be embedded into the actual model code itself (somehow... could Autodesk create a dialog that would write copyright information into the model when saved or exported and then lock that?) but a file format conversion might break that. Or maybe someone has developed some code (or something that causes the converter to stumble and be unsuccessful) to protect the model from being converted.
