Attached Link: CR2Builder

You can create & apply partial shaders/matpose....you will have to do some editing outside Poser to accomplish this feat. Not sure about things that go in the middle of other things, but use what I did and experiment and hopefully you'll be able to get it to work.

I just recently did a bunch of partial mats to affect different levels of transparency settings for some clothing I made, and it works like a charm. I apply the texture file first, then hit which ever trans setting I feel like and I'm good to go. (because otherwise, instead of 4 partial trans to go with the 20 textures....you do the math)

Set up the parts you want (your transparencies and the like) and save out a copy of your material file. Either as a single or a material collection.

Then, take your file and edit everything out EXCEPT the part your going to want to apply the extra bits. CR2Builder comes in great for this task.

Rename, put back in your runtime, and hopefully....everything should work like you want. Some of your's are sounding a bit more complex than what I did, but just experiment and see what will work.

If you need any help along the way, just let me know. Can do a mini tut and/or send you one of my partial mat files to take a peek at.

Crazy alien chick FTW! (yeah....right....)
