Facegen, Skinbuilder - What may I share?

Hello,

I recently bought FaceGen and Skinbuilder, used it, and created a morph and a skin for a Genesis8 Figure. Since I wanted to share the final product, I would like to ask two things:

  1. How do I save a complete preset to "give away"?
  2. Am I allowed to share morphs and skins made with skinbuilder (for free), and facegen?

Thank you in advance!

    You can share the morph (morph only, no part of the original figure) made with facegen, but you cannot share any textures from DAZ, PAs or Skinbuilder. Skinbuider is designed to create personal prijects or commercial addons only.

    Thank you! I see, so, there is no real way to share a modified a gen8-skin for free?

    Nope, not unless you can find a merchant resource that states it can be used for freebies ( I don't know of any) or develop your own from scratch.

    Keep in mind that what you're asking for is essentially for someone's work that they expect other people to pay for, to be available to give away free; understandably, most people aren't keen on that.

    I can understand that, rule is rule.

    Zev0 Skin Builder 8 is indeed a merchant resource, but you’d have to check the terms to see what, exactly, is allowed. Many skin resources disallow freebies.

    If you use your own face or other pictures that you have the copyright for in FaceGen, would you not be able to share the facial textures? You should likely also be allowed to work with commercially licensed textures and skin resources from other sources, such as 3dsk.

    The only free merchant resource that can be used for freebies, that I know of, is this one by Shadoweagle on ShareCG. It's just called G8F FREE MERCHANT SKIN RESOURCE. I like it, but I tend to use it for personal use/no-restribution (the same way you must use these other merchant resources.)

    (Goes and finds it) Wow, nice.  I wish there was a male version of this, too, but seeing as how this item is from a year ago it pretty much means that's not in the cards.  oO

    If possible, please share some images. I always like to see what people come up with using facegen.

    Sure, of course!

    As said, comming from the fanart-corner... Kasumi (Dead or alive), Fang (Final Fantasy).

    The file MimicMolly mentioned is great! Thank you!

    If you want to use SB for freebies, you may consider contacting Zev for permission. Worst he can say is "no."

    Probably will, but that's just my opinion. The actual problem is that that's a skin that's out there, and unscrupulous individuals can "borrow" it.

    Also, you might keep in mind that Skin Builder can also be used to put a texture you painted yourself on the anatomical elements. I doubt strongly he could (or would) complain about that.

    FG states that you can use textures and morphs generated from their included morphs and textures freely for any purpose. However, you must have obtained permission or license to use any third party photos or textures that you include (the photo you based the face on, or any MR or free texture set you tell FG to use as a base). Just follow the license agreement per any MRs (generally, no freebies) or stick to using free resources. And, use royalty free photos to create faces. These can be your own shots or stock photos sold for this purpose. Just make sure you aren't stepping on anyone else's copyright.
