Hehee... I understand what you mean Questor. You want to know how Anton searches quickly for his watermarks. I don't think you really need to even open Poser to check for the existence of those watermarks. Anton only needs to know in what part of the geometry his watermarks should be and he can have a program to quickly scan the morph target geometry in search of the watermark. Developing such a program should be a minor thing, me thinks. I may be wrong, but I sure as hell wouldn't search for the watermark in Poser! I'm not an expert in making morph targets, but I do know something about computing. Calculating offsets and deltas in the geometry should reveal an infringement, right? Not really different than the techniques used in steganographic software (ie. hiding messages in lossless or slightly lossy image files). Anton can correct me if I'm wrong.
