To be honest I'm a total noob when it comes to rigging, in fact it's the thought of having to deal with multiple parts and textures that fills me with dread any time I fancy playing around and having a go at something like that.  It's been the biggest pain in the backside for me ever since my first Poser (Poser 3).  From early on I wanted to be able to just paint a texture onto my figure, but at the time  it was practially impossible to do due to the seperate texture maps.  And then there's morphs, it's just way better to load up a complete mesh in ZBrush and be able to work on the full thing without having to worry about technicalities.

That's really "the ideal" for me, but Genesis, for example, in comparison just sounds like an absolute nightmare to me due to all the technicalities of the way it's put together, mapped and rigged or whatever.  I was going to suggest that weird but simple technique where you use a single mesh and just define the texture unfold, but I can't rmember what it's called.

Thanks for the head's up on Natalie/Roxie, but man, you totally spoiled the fantasy, argrrrrrrrrr!
Suppose I'd better tell Roxie then, she's been disturbingly quiet since I brought it up, wondering about it no doubt :-D
