Black Cat, Before i have read Styxx Tutorial i have splittet my clothes as long as they was nurbs and after splitting converting them to meshes. But keep attention, you have to select all clothing parts when you convert it to meshes. Otherways you will receive some gaps between the parts. But now as i know the thing with max, i would do it this way. First of all 3D-products was a really old original Max-Version1.2 which received from a friend. But could not come warm with Max's-interface. But now hehehe, it's good for just the solution of spliting meshes. SHARKEY
