heyas; couple of problems.... first, because the obj is heavily modified in ray dream, it has created a new obj. distributing the cr2 won't do anybody any good, because they don't have the new obj. it won't work with the sweater obj and dress obj that everybody already has. second, if you use the grouping tool in poser, it will insert custom geometry into the cr2, making it unneccesary to distribute the new obj. HOWEVER, if i am not mistaken, this cr2-contained geometry can be used to extract the full obj, thus rendering it as a work-around for not having rightfully obtained the original copyrighted mesh in the first place. (really gotta talk to zygote about that and their distribution policies...) lastly... if the only part of the dress is the bottom edge, and the rest of it is built up new in ray dream, then i think it would encode/decode fine using the sweater as the seed file. true, the base line of the dress would be zygote's, but.... you can ask them; i don't think they would be too worried about that being distributed. :)
