I'm sure everyone has run into problems using conforming clothing where little bits of the Poser figure protrude through the clothing. Generally body parts which are completely covered by clothing can be made invisible. Magnets are often used to adjust those protruding bits of flesh which remain from "partially covered" body parts. I think there is a slightly easier mechanism to the use of magnets for those protrusions. This might be really obvious and everyone already using it, in which case I'll just slink back to my little corner of the Internet. The trick is to leave the partially exposed body parts visible, but use the Grouping tool to select those polygons which will be covered by the clothing. You then assign a new material to the selected polygons, and make that material 100% transparent. For example, in the image shown my little guy is wearing a tunic and pants. Normally you'd be able to see some bits of his chest poking through the sides and back of the tunic. I made most of his chest transparent (as shown in the bottom half of the image), so when rendered you don't see any of these protruding bits. The portions of his chest around the neckline are still visible, and look correct in rendered images. Similarly, his calves were protruding out the back of his pants. Trying to taper and scale the shins made him look odd. So now his calves are transparent, and you can't see then out the back of his pants any more. I hope people find this technique useful.

Good one :-) Thanks for the tip!! Chris

Handy tip. And after seeing your screen-capture, I now have Large Monitor envy. :-)

I hadn't though of that .. Good tip. Now just have to figure out the dern grouping tool :)

Excellent tip! Hadn't thought of it at all. Thanks!

smart

Not bad! nice tip.

Thank you! :)

Great tip! Now all I have to do is figure out the grouping tool ....
