First, to make it clear, I appreciate Anton's idea. I don't want to be misunderstood in this point. But I feel like nobody understands what my point is: If I create a nose morph and distribute it with Anton's cheek morph - as MachineClaw wrote - it's not okay. Yes, of course not. Easy to understand. No problem. But let's assume I load V2 and apply Mr.Doe's full face morph (all parts of the face involved) and now start to modify this face by using 30 dials (from the 'standard' dials) and make from this a new full face morph: How is this? If I distribute this morph nobody can extract from this (without knowing which dials I have modified) Mr. Doe's full face morph. It's the same like nobody can extract from Mr. Doe's full face morph V2's original face-mesh. I mean: Do you see where my problem is? For me it seems, that in the end in both cases I have just modified a 'face', someone else has created before. And then I really can't find, where I can read that this is allowed to do for meshes (as Anton mentioned). Sorry for disturbing this thread again with this question, but where and who should I ask?
