Hi, Lynn! :)

 

Quote - This. Daz really over did it on V4. I mean do we really need 5 mat zones for the eyes, 4 for the torso, 3 for the arms, etc?

Actually, I have to say yes. We could live without the eye surface, but it is useful to have separate sclera, iris, pupil, cornea, and lacrimal. The nostrils could be merged with the face, but having the lips seperate is useful for, for example, makeup (now if only the lips material zone were actually limited to the lips, but I digress ^_^). Having the different material zones for the torso is useful for second skins; same for separating upper and lower arms. So the short version is that yes, Gen4's material zones are useful.
