one of the advantages to second skins done with trans maps applied as i showed in that thread is that it is not limited to your texture. it could be applied to any texture. Using mat or mc6 files would require you to have your texture attached in the nodes. however, you could use ShaderSpiders fx6 to make a partial material file that would apply your second skin clothing on top of whatever texture is already applied. shaderspider LE applies fx6 files and is a free download so you wont be limted to people who own shaderspider.
