As much as I like working with genesis; with the creature morphs it can be any figure I want, DAZ's over the top protection of the figure makes it hard to work in carrara. For the previous 4 generations of figures clothing poke through was a fairly easy fix. But genesis changed that.

Before genesis I used Studio primarily for content repair and figure morphs; the Hex bridge became an essential tool for me. But since genesis; and my obstinance about using DAZ content leashes, Studio has become an invaluable tool for figure presetting; clothing.  Not actually a bad thing, the Hex bridge is right there to fix clothes that autofit mangles; like dresses. But DAZ not letting me use the invaluable tool of modeling in the assembly room, makes fixing posing poke through practically imposable to fix in carrara.

That is why I had to find another way to deal with it, and as such discover how easily it can be fixed using displacement in the shaders. The draw back is it often swallows small details like buttons and zippers.
