Quote - > Quote - Just to clarify, in case some didn't catch what Gareee is saying (sorry gareee not implying that you didn't communicate clearly...sometimes having something said a 2nd time helps the info to sink in to those that didn't catch it the 1st time), you legally cannot spin a dial and say it's your morph. That dial/morph belongs to someone who created it, therefor you can't use that dial to sell something. You can enjoy the dial, but not profit from it.
I'm not implying that was the original posters intent, but we see this confusion off and on here.
You can use magnets, and sell.
You cannot spin a dial and use magnets to sell though, because again you are jumping off of someone elses hard work (ie; the dial).
So what you are saying, is that someone can't create a character just using the dials and sell it? Just because they didnt make the dials? .........What about all the people selling poses? those are all just dial turns........ looks like the same damned thing to me thats still just someone turning dials to get something that "anyone" can get by turning dials.
Sounds like the arguement I hear people trot out against poser .......you didnt create that picture you just used content that someone else made........................ same damned thing.
Now if you have a reference from one of the companies making these figures that says specificly that someone can not sell a character that is just dial turns no matter how good or bad, that's a different story but I don't remember ever seeing anything like that anywhere.
No, you can sell a dial spin character but you can't spawn a morph from it and sell that. You'd have to save the pose which created the character.
