Quote - Ok, I will throw in an example of a bodysuit that I think would work great with any character. Don't think of the character, look at the mat zones of the suit.

Obviously this is for a female, but a male version could be done as well.

Now something like this grabs my attention as I can see so many possibilities by just looking at the zones.

Normal, fantasy, space etc. Imagination is really only your limitation.

A dress with similar zones could again be used for so many things. Now lets's not get into horrible remarks about styles of dress. Lets just call them items of mall material area, so much nicer.

Now, you could make whatever style you required with just 2 items. Now if they added on bootshow option for the bodysuit, then YIPPEEEE!!!!! I'm buying that type of thing.

As you all can see, it doesn't take much in clothing to get me excited, I'm more interested in the mat zones and what I can do with them.

So, a little please from me to PA's when doing promos, not only can you do a untextured version, couldd you also do a materialo zone promo with basic colours to chow what we can do with it. Just a little thing, but it could mean the difference between a sale and a pass by.

All the best.

The down side to all those material zones, however, is that if you're using procedural shaders, there's a LOT of work involved in texturing something like this.

There really should be some kind of trade off with too many material zones that makes procedural texturing too cumbersome to be reasonable.
