Thanks, BB. Yeah, that's what I meant by saving the prop in the future - using it like a material collection until the character was absolutely finalized.

I think the reattach is probably a no-go. I did some pretty major changes. Probably some of it isn't even doing anything by now, who knows? :-p (Truthfully, most of it is still there, but after detaching and then having to copy settings from one material to another, the nice handy VSS names got lost, which is a PITA.) If you want, I could attach it as a .txt file (right?) and you could see what a mess I've made of your shader. :-p

Anyway, I'm gonna take the info you gave me here and go into the material room and have a look. Gonna have to do in Poser Pro, though, cause I'm doing my first Alyson render with P8. (The result won't be a pretty girl, but she's got character....)
