If only HandspanStudios and ThorneWorks would...

It would be great if HandspanStudios and ThorneWorks would convert their Head Morph Kit 1 for Dawn to DAZ Studio...sigh. :please:

I have it in my wish list for when I get a little extra cash.
Too many co_pays on medical tests and meds right now.

I think I may have been the person asking at the time.

Alisa is it okay to convert them to DS to use as a merchant resource for your own use? Or is it only okay to use them in Poser?

I would think it's fine to use them as a MR in any program as long as you follow what requirements were set out in the ReadMe.

Good to know...I thought I hadn't bought them but I have. I just haven't gotten around to converting them for DS from the looks of things.

I know I asked too.
I'll probably end up getting them one day anyway as I have a version of P10 collecting dust on my shelf so I could convert them, but so far the idea of having to manually convert 50 morphs has not been very appealing....

I don't think you can convert it and sell it as an MR without their permission, maybe for you own use.
Would be great though. :)

I wasn't thinking of releasing a mr of it for DS more using it for my own use to create morphs just like you would in Poser.

One question though if I loaded up the morphs in DS can I then add my own touches in Zbrush and bring them back as a single dial as long as I mention that I used the merchant resource? Sorry I normally make my own morphs so I'm not sure what is allowed.

From the ReadMe:

Restrictions:
The included morph targets are intended solely for use as a merchant resource in creating your own custom faces (character INJ poses), or for nondistributable use (rendered artwork) in your own commercial or non-commercial artwork.

They may not be used to create free characters or morphs - commercial characters only, please.

They may not be included in a merchant resource collection or as separate morphs themselves.

They may not be included separately in characters for sale, as gifts, or redistributed in any form or format.

Morph targets MAY BE USED in COMBINATION ONLY with your own custom morphs in commercial characters, but not in such a way that the original morph target may be extracted (do not create a new morph target that is only one of these morph targets spawned at a different value than 1 such that changing the parameter value would result in recreating the original morph).

The morphs may be used as a base for creating a custom character in your own modeling program, such as ZBrush.:

Thanks Alisa...that sounds like it would be okay for me to use the way I was thinking then. It doesn't specifically mention using in DS so I may try and contact them to check that it's okay. I don't won't to put lots of work in only to find it's not okay though.

I see no reason why you can't use them in DS , but if you want to contact them, I sure understand :).
