Several really REALLY good suggestions. I too don't think the tile thing will work because it does stretch whatever you texture with (I might get away with it in Bryce, though). I really like the idea of morphing where I want the skirt and then exporting as object and remapping. That didn't occur to me at all. See-it pays to ask because unless you are very experienced with Poser, these things just don't occur to you. And Steve-I know EXACTLY what you mean (miracles of miracles, huh?!? LOL) That sounds like a winner too-you have so much experience doing this sort of thing that I'm really glad you have responded to my calls for help. I'm going to try both ways. For you guys, this kind/shape of dress can go a lot of ways. This one is sort of 'granola-y' (as some of my friends refer to it), but this soft body shape can run the gamut from very classic, simple to real funky 'art to wear' stuff. If nobody minds, I'd really like to post some pics of the range that this shape covers-I have great hopes someone can create the model. Also-longish buttoned jackets that don't 'fit'-they could become hunky knit sweaters with TN under them, dress suit type jackets-lots of stuff. All you model builders/morphers-I'm hoping. For everyone's own edification, though--I'm strictly a pants type person-dresses are NOT in my wardrobe except for the mandatory 'one'. Being a self-employed craftsperson, I can dress however I choose and that's shorts and T's in the summer, longsleeve T's and what I call "Japanese farmer pants" in the winter-comfortable, the keynote. Now, for my shows, that's another matter-but I get to be 'arty'-sort of (smile), so don't let my requests for Poser wardrobe help give you ANY stereotypical ideas of me or MY wardrobe-he, hee, hee.
