 You can edit your VSS prop to apply to any figure you want but first you need to take time to understand how VSS operates.  It's real simple once you get it.

Select your VSS prop and go into the material room.  In the material list you'll see two materials called Apply Rules and Shader Rules.  

Apply Rules controls which figures or props VSS will be applied to.  Bagginsbill set it up so it would apply to every figure in the scene but you can change that.

Shader Rules controls which material zone on your figure gets changed by VSS's materials.  I'm having difficulty wording this in a good way.   Take a look at the Shader Rules for a minute and look at how the nodes are connected.  For example, There is a node called skin that's connected to a Copy Template Skin node.  That means that if your figure has a material zone with 'skin' in it's name it will be changed by the Template Skin material on the VSS prop.

 With me so far?

You can change all this with the Designer script that's included in the VSS panel.  Let me know if you want to have a go at it.
