Hey Acadia, If you want make your clothes fit your models without too much fuss and without having to compromise your poses try this http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=677 it REALLY works. Templates for stuff ya buy is often offered on the product page. I don't know what kinds of problems you have in the material room. You can preview what does what in the window at the bottom of the screen so a little experimenting should give you an idea. Textures are easy to make. GOOD textures are harder to make. Great Textures can get very time consuming. Textures like Vali's are still a mystery to me, I just dunno how he makes such great stuff! I am still learning how to map (and it's not going well thus far) and I am confused as hell (especially when I import an obj into Poser and find that the positioning is allllll kinds of different) but I am going to keep trying. Eventually I will get the hang of it and my models will start to resemble that which they are intended too :P If you are looking at the things the top sellers (or even the not-so-top-sellers) on this site are making and hoping to learn how to make things equal to thiers in a day or two.... well......... I suggest you allocate a little more time and patience :) By the way there are all kinds of tutes right here on this site @ http://www.renderosity.com/tut.ez?Sectionid=12356 There are also some good (but less advanced tutes) here: http://www.daz3d.com/support/tutorial/index.php Good Luck and i hope you stick with it!
