Just a question, but, are there any existing gloves for Mike 2 you could simply apply a transparency mask too? That and reasonable bump and texture maps might get you exactly what you want. I used that technique to get a fingerless glove for Victoria 3 from a fingered one. Another idea would be to create a glove texture and bump map on a michael 2 texture map. I.e., just paint and bump it onto the michael texture. The real trick would be in the bump map for that type of approach. Unless you really need the mesh, or it has to stand off significantly from the hands, this may work well. Good luck.
