I guess my last response did'nt post... anyhow, I figured it would be had to follow my discription. lol I think contacting the image rather than resizing would be better discrition, since resizing would ccause the problems you mentioned. On the topic of layering though, wasn't there a tutorial on layering on the inside of a mesh? Look at SamTherapy's abyss figure you'll notice the reflection only comes from the front or rather the outside of the figure. Nothing from the backside of the head or back. and that reflection would have to come from the inside of the backside of the Abyss figure. So the layers have to face the intior, and I know there is a way to do that, do you know how?
