I hate that 'ghosting' on close fitting glove and stockings when they are transparent... given how tight so much of the new Millennium 4 figure clothes are and given the lack of seam detail and edge dimension they would just as well be 2nd skins with cuff morphs! My opinion is that unless the clothes are properly draped why should they not be second skin... even the draping on tight stuff can be done with displacement... instead we get the "Barbie Effect" with tightly fitted clothes that seem to be made of half inch thick latex... maybe it should be called the Polly Pocket look. We end up with big damn shoes to compensate for poke through... that is why I favor the Bratz strategy of switching integrated foot/shoe units. It is weird that so few clothing artists have used Cloth Room as a tool in creating conforming clothes but now more and more stuff in the market looks like single sided stuff made with quick suite tools... makes me miss the old end capped clothes that were nicely modeled in a lot of cases.
