This problem is just never going to go away so there is only one solution I can suggest (a suggestion I have yet to take myself but I'm going to!) Learn to paint your own clothing in Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Painter, etc. A few reference books wouldn't hurt and one I think is excellent is Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery by Burne Hogarth. (Watson-Guptill Publications - ISBN 0-8230-1587-4). Another useful tome for painting in general is Digital Character Design and Painting by Don Seegmiller. (Charles River Media - ISBN 1-58450-232-0) Of course, there are many others along with numerous tutorials to be found on the web. There are numerous advantages to such an approach, not the least of which is the good health of your bank account. Even better, you will not be swathing your figures in the same off-the-rack clothing and hair as everyone else. Sometimes perusing the gallery is like attending a party where everyone buys from the same clothing stores. Even better, better, better- no more body poke-through, everything automatically conforms, no more stretching texture maps and so on and so on and so on. Yeah... I'm going to have to start doing this... real soon now... - Jack
