"Character concept is an art in itself, and many people are hard working on making a character look just right. It's just as hard as making the 3D mesh, texture, etc... IMO." I didnt mention character concept at all. Im talking about outfits - tops, skirts, leggings, boots, etc. And yes, no doubt quite a lot of work goes into that. I didnt say it was easy (though some outfits are certainly easier than others), I said I thought it was the easiest part of the process. That is still my opinion. I have a friend who is an editor, and as such she hears a lot of people who have these wonderful ideas for books and screenplays. The people always swear her to secrecy because they dont want their idea stolen. This makes her laugh because, as they say in the business, "the plot is the cheapest part of the book." Yes, original ideas take time and creativity, but they are a far cry from the actualization of a movie/book/3D model. Which is why I brought up the question in the first place: Can the concept for an outfit be copyrighted? I dont think the answer is yes, though characters can be trademarked so particular outfits probably can be as well. Best Blessings, --Invidia
