You can do this to save resources but its definitely not beginners stuff. Basically it is similar to Frankensteining a different head on another figures body like you can read here: http://www.ebonshire.net/tut-posa/poptop-a1.php The problem comes where a clothing part doesnt completely cover a corresponding figure part like Jessis neck and the neck of the clothing for example. As you can only have ONE neck part per figure, you have to export these parts first and reimport both parts again as ONE (neck) object. Its also VERY important that the new object still is named "neck" just like the old neck parts. Same goes fo any other similar parts where the figure is only partially covered by the clothing part. (Like hands/forerms or feet/shins) Clothing parts like chest, hip, etc, can be usually exported as is, as they completely cover the figure parts. Once you have all your parts exported (the figure parts, the clothing parts, and the combined parts), you must reimport them again and finally export and safe the complete figure object. Finally hack the figures cr2 file in a text editor so it points to the new object and resave it with a new name. But like momodot said, if the clothing shape is VERY different in shape from the figures body, you might have to readjust some joint parameters, though. It will save some resources and also makes posing easier, but only makes sense for clothing that covers almost all of the figure. stahlratte
