Thanks for the help on this and the images too. The effect I was sort of after is like what BionicRooster did with the skirt. If I understand, to get this type of look I would make a transmap for the clothing item black in the areas I want to be transparent and white for the areas of the outfit I do not. I can also control the intensity with the "Transparency Falloff" and link to the trans map I used for the regular transparency map?

I am trying to get an outfit that has textures of satin and velvet to be transparent to some degree (say 50%) for the satin parts of the outfit and have some of the velvet areas to be solid with fully tranparent areas in specific spots of the outfit.

The clothing on one of the oufits is sort of like what you have posted here. I will study what you said there too, but I am not clear on what effect this had on the outfit. Are you talking about the texture of the green areas here or the bare skin areas? Not sure what you are trying to do here with that image is why I was confused.
