um,  i think you misunderstand.  i was thinking he might be of help figuring out solutions to what you're doing, not giving you precise info about ww.  and it's his extreme helpfulness and politeness as well as the fact that you're actually trying to do something different that makes me think he might give you a pointer or two.  also, it can't hurt to ask.  the worst he could do is say no.  the best he could do is ask you to collaborate on a ww ii or some other type of app.  it would be wonderful to have something transfer morphs as JoePublic has done.

on the subject in general - i think a lot of people are too insecure.  they get so afraid someone will take their knowledge and use it themselves that they forget that most of the work is in implementing not understanding.   i think i understand the principles behind what you're doing from your descriptions.  if my life depended on it, i couldn't script it myself.  face_off made a tutorial describing exactly how to set up his skin shader, and his products are still popular.  dreamlight made a tutorial about how to make his light dome, and gave away a low end version, and his product still sold well.  people don't generally want to do it themselves.
