I bought some MR Morphs to use to create a character for Genesis 8 because I don't model my own morphs. How can I legally use those morphs in my character. I bought some recently from here, but there is nothing anywhere on how to use those morphs from any of the vendors who sell the resources.

Have you checked the readme.txt file of the product? Generally you can find licensing information and terms for use there. Alternatively you can PM the vendor if you have any questions regarding their product.

For example take a look at this MR:

head-morphs-resource-kit-and-merchant-resource-for-genesis-3-males

See the Readme

EXCERPT:

"This product is a merchant resource. You may use it to create your own personal and/or commercial character and/or shape products. You are allowed to include the morph files (DSF) in your products as long as you state in your product ReadMe that this product has been used as a resource to create your product. It is not necessary that this product is a requirement for your product. You may copy the morph files to be used in your product as long as you give credit in your ReadMe. You are not allowed to include the morph files in products that are supposed to be free (Freebies) and you are not allowed to use the morph files as part of a merchant resource. Furthermore it is not allowed to include the morphs as part of a morph product. The morphs may be only used to create a character or shape product. "

"If you are not sure what is allowed and what is not please feel free to contact me via site mail. "

I know all this about the resource, most vendors do not allow you to include the morphs. I know you have to export after you dial in the morphs as an object then re import using morph loader , after loading the morph into a new genesis 8 you use erc freeze. Make sliders from the morphs then use them to create your character. This is the way you can't extract morphs. I did find out from one of the vendors but she missed the erc freeze step. It would be good if vendors selling merchant resources, would have a explanation of how to use their morphs as so they can't be used singly or extracted to be used on other characters etc.
