Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
No. Basically, what you are asking is, is it legal to "shrink wrap" the shape of one figure onto another figure. No, it's not legal except for your OWN PERSONAL USE. They would be considered a derivative of copyrighted work, and it is against the license agreements of the content to distribute it in any way.

Hivewire License Agreement (in this post): Basically says the same thing. You can create a not for sale, not for distribution object for your own personal use.
It's important to note that making it "free" doesn't make it legal. If you want to start creating content, you need to make sure that all of the work in the product is your own (or uses content defined as merchant resources), and that it doesn't violate the terms of the content license agreements.
For the body scans you will need to check the license agreements for those. Or ask the original creator. There isn't a one size fits all answer.
Merchant resources are typically morph packages or base textures created for figures, that the original creators have given permission to be used to create characters. Typically to create a character with morph packages you dial spin ti and then "bake" the result in as a single character morph, but you'll need to read the readme or license to be sure how to use it. Always always always check the license agreements for any content you are working with that you haven't created yourself.

I have a question that might have already been answered in the past on these forms. However, I could not find the simple question.
The question is if I am able to transfer morphs (let's say) from G8-G9 to Poser characters like Dawn or La Femme, is that wrong?
Is it legal?
