Can anyone direct me toward cloth-like textures? Looking for kind of a satin or silk texture. Second question: glove morphs or props? Looking for elbow-length gloves. Morph World's flare too much when set to the right length. Existing elbow-length gloves with a silk texture would be better still.

Cage, if you have a scanner, that's the easiest way to get those textures. I scan textiles all the time and they can be so realistic it is scary. Diane B

The only silks I have been able to find come with built in folds showing the irridescense (sp). I guess that makes sense since a straight on view is not going to show the "silkiness" of the fabric. Instead I have been trying to do the same thing by choosing an desirable pattern and then working it in P'shop until I get a range of colors [pure white-->Electric colors or pure black-->Electric colors] and then finessing the reflection when I bring it into Poser. Whether I am suceeding or not will be up to you guys when I start posting the Hat Check Kelly pages in a week or so (and don't think I'm not sweating that) BTW I DID find a use for silk with folds. Hat Check Kelly sleeps under silk sheets jje

If all else fails you could try what I did. Assign a material up to where you want the glove to be and then in the Materials options you can achieve the silk/satin effect with a reflection map and by playing around with the hightlights.

Thanks, everyone. I'll try the various options. Jje, where are the silk patterns you've found? I would like to check those out, too, if possible. The folds would actually fit the application I have in mind. Does anyone have a lead on the gloves question?

I think I found it on http://www.totallyseamless.com/ nics tex, nice people, lousy html I went on a "texture feeding frenzy" a few weeks back and haven't sorted thru what I collected. sigh drop me a line if you can't find it.
