Okay, here is the information on what you can and cannot do with objects in Poser. OBJ Files - you cannot distribute OBJ files from Poser as the copyright on these meshes remains with Zygote. However, if you modify a mesh and wish to distribute it, you must use Mover to encode it. This means that, unless you have the original (seed) OBJ, you will not be able to open the PCF file. OBJ Files (Morph Targets). You can distribute as OBJ files altered body-parts (morph targets). However, you cannot distribute the entire mesh - only the part of the mesh you have morphed. Ideally, you would strip out the stuff that isn't neccessary (all non-vertex information) either using a text editor or a utility like Morph Masher. This prevents the morph target from being used to create actual geometry. CR2 files are perfectly okay to distribute, provided you do not include the original OBJ file in with them. The reason for this is that, without the original OBJ file, a CR2 will not work. So, if you can create a CR2 of your dress (without the figure in so that it looks exactly like a garment in the library), you can distribute the CR2 without any problem. The copyright question only arises when you start including Zygote OBJ-files. Hope this clears things up for you Paul
