Let vendors sell the morphs used to create an attractive character from other character sets.

Most of the attractive characters are used as promo images to showcase clothing.  In fact, I want that attractive character instead of whatever clothing is being show cased.

I am willing to pay $10.00 $20.00 or $30.00 for a list of morphs used to create an attractive character. So let's say the vendor owns: Victoria 8, Jacqueline 8.1, and Rune 7. Then from those morphs, and the default Genesis 7 & 8 morphs, they manage to make a very attractive character. I want to buy how that character was made.  So I essentially would be paying for the combination of morphs used to create that attractive character.  Whatever character assets needed, I would also have to buy.

One of the most time consuming processes is creating a highly attractive and charismatic character.  97% of DAZ people are not attractive enough for what I need.

A lot of you vendors know how to make very beautiful characters, and THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO BUY.  There should be some way to let you sell attractive character sets; the list of morphs used. Then we'll buy whatever characters were needed to make that attractive character.

It's very annoying to see an attractive character I could use in my work, but instead it's used to showcase clothing I don't need. I NEED THE ACTUAL ATTRACTIVE CHARACTER IN THE PROMO IMAGE.

I repeat, you don't know how time consuming it is making an attractive character from existing characters.  If I could pay like $50.00 for someone to make the attactive character, I'd prefer that, since most of DAZ people are not attractive out of the box.

Please allow vendors to start doing this within 30 days, no less. Thank you.

There is nothing to stop PAs sharing their settings if they wish, and generally an ticket to support will let you discover if it is simply an existing character. however, many PAs choose to keep their characters as their own and have no desire to share the settings - assuming they are not custom sculpts.

Good news! Vendors are allowed to do this - which means that if they haven't, it's because they just don't want to. (Usually because they want the characters to remain their unique trademark).

It's absolutely allowable (in theory*) for products to be presets for existing controls, including those from prerequisite products. See Saiyaness's characters, for example, which almost all require that generation's respective basic Head and Body morph packs.

* The "in theory" is that Daz have to feel that a product will make enough returns to justify the effort of testing and marketing it, but too many prerequisites massively reduces the possible buyers of a product.

(Where Daz absolutely cannot provide permission though is when it comes to certain modifications of character skins; any edited textures would not be legally redistributable, regardless of what Daz does or does not want to do.)

I resemble that remark.
