We're all for the open discussions and public mulling over of issues, however, as Caly said, sometimes it is more efficient/quick to just ask us directly.

As for the procedure that WTB outlined in post #14, I think our FAQ does a pretty good job of answering this question for you, but since its quite apparent that many people find it less logical than we did when we wrote it, I'll walk through it with you. :)

"Because DAZ sells the Victoria 3 product(s) in a different manner from previous products, the distribution of add-on files for V3 involves some new practices, as well. However, as with all of our products, the guide for what files/data may be distributed can be found in the answer to this question: Will the distribution of a file that is based on a DAZ-sold product be useable by those who haven't purchased the original product from which it was created? If the answer is yes, then the file cannot be distributed legally. In almost all cases this means that Geometry and Morphs created by DAZ cannot be included in the distribution."

Okay, so WTB, will your procedure satisfy this statement? Well, assuming that any OBJ's that you distribute are properly "squished" or "stripped" (vertex only obj), AND assuming that the only DAZ made morphs that you use are part of the package where your seed file comes from, then YES, this procedure would be okay.

I would like to stress again that there are several ways to satisfy this statement currently, and that in the future, new procedures/applications/file formats, etc will certainly create new ways to satisfy this statement as well. The most important factor is simply whether or not the above statement is satisfied by the procedure chosen.

Again, any specific instances that you are unsure of, please feel free to contact us directly. And I will see that we update our FAQ so that it can provide this same information in a more digestable format. ;)
