I just read a tutorial on transmapping yesterday, again at daz. transmaps use the blank texture maps of an item, but instead of putting a texture on it, you use black, white and varying shades of gray. whatever part you paint black will be completely transparent/invis. white will be where the clothing or texture is, and gray is for partial transparency - the darker the gray is, the more transparent the cloth will be. the tutorial was pretty short, and seemed pretty simple. I haven't actually tried doing it yet, but i plan to, with the v3 tunic. E.D.
