If it is derived from the DAZ mesh everything is clear as glass Well, all things considered - it HAS to be derived from the V3 mesh. All clothing is. You need a reference for sizing and proportions and that comes from the mesh somehow (be it a mesh rendered to image planes or simply having the mesh in the editing environment). As such, clothing is ALWAYS a derivative of the mesh, even before joint parameters come into the equation. There really is no way around it either. This is not an issue of copyright, but an issue of EULA. Image planes for clothing creation may be "fair use", but the EULA is alot more restrictive than copyright law. --EK
