Made a bump map to look as to the best of my abilities like panty hose. The built in bump using the granite node is used on the legs and feet. The panty part of my bump map ends short of bottom of the hip zone on the leg. So I felt if I did not keep the granite bump in place the transition wouldn't work from the hip zone to the leg zone.
So I added a blender node and plugged the granite and my bump map into it and then the blender back into the bump node. But to get the different color of where a non all sheer pantyhose would typically be, I added a another texture map and used the tatoo method of color multiple and added the skin texture and my texture map into the color math node and then rehooked back to where the original figure texture map was connected. The texture map used to make the panty part darker has it's texture strenght turned down to .5.
I assume I have used the wrong methods to do this and or picked the wrong material room nodes to try to join my panty bump and re-color into the mix of BB's nodes. Anybody got any hint's of other things I should try. I have messed around for the last few days with this and am very close. But again you might not be able to see the line I see in the jpg I have posted of the render. Trust me it's there and noticable.
If anybody wants a copy of my bump map and what I plugged into mixed with the torso texture using the tatoo method and copies of my psd files I used to create these, let me know by site mail and I can zip up and email to you to use or modify anyway you want. Keeping in mind that my texturing and psd skills suck. Right now both are 2000 x 2000 which is to big. But I am still trying to figure this out and have not made them smaller yet.
FYI: I created the bump map using V4's seam guide and painted over it.
