Quote - 3.) Obviously my next question is, if I re-save all the figures to the library using the same prefix…ie…Kids4-1, Kids4-2, Kids4-Ben, Kids4-Penny, etc…and make the VSS rule be “Kids4*” to cover all the figures, will it mess things up if Ben gets loaded as “Ben” and Will gets loaded as “Figure 1”?  The VSS should just take over all of them and make them all the same skin shade, correct? Or is it a different procedure for Ben/Kate compared to Daz’s Kids4 figures?

VSS will only respect and effect a change on those names provided in the *Apply Rules. * Everything else will not be changed.  This is the reason why this workflow is suggested.  If any clothing share similar body part naming conventions, those clothing material zones will inadvertently be converted.  This will lead to undesirable effects which will need correcting later. 

In my Super-Kid post, I loaded the body suit before applying any VSS to the model.  I realized that the bodysuit also contained similar body parts as the model which I didn't want converted.  Therefore, the model was rename Kal-El and an Add Rules node bearing his name was created in VSS to match.
