Hi there again ladys and gents
when I started this thread I mentioned how i modeled a pair of stockings to use in poser.
not to sell ... just in my own renders.
and i did also mention nodes ....
It was the stockings I was emphasizing not the nodes.
I only use the blender node to get the stockings on the figure.
the other nodes in above screen shots were for the skin prior to me adding stockings.
the stockings being of the lets say fish net type didn't have a sheen to my recollection ..... I can be wrong.
that being said ....
The paterns weren't painted on ... they were baked onto a uv (in this case torso & limb of v4).
using this method I didnt havta worry about seam guides.
and I can touch it up in photoshop if need be.
in the screen shot below you can see how the bake on method bridged the leg & torso with no hic ups.

after seeing the screen shots by Vilters, Anthanasius and the post by Bagginsbill.
I will work on the Glossy,blinn & Anisotropic when I make a sheer nylon pair in the future.
