An individual asked if I could provide the textures and figures that I used in a picture. I created them in Poser, but the outfits that were on them were purchased. The person wanted me to convert them to a .3ds format. Now I know the texture can't be given to someone else, but what if the figures are in a different format from the original purchase? I've seen a lot of "conversions" that were given out as freebies, but have always felt uncomfortable about that activity. I certainly don't want to violate any copyrights or property rights of people trying to earn money off their labor. I'm pretty sure the outfits would also be off-limits as well as the textures, but what about Poser figures that I have created by tweaking the dials?
I'd appreciate any advice in this regard. I'd like to be able to give them to this individual, but I am pretty sure it would it would not be legal or morally correct.
Thanks!
