Thanks Ockham, that sounds like a winner.  I'll give it a shot.

Actually I have a 3D paint program (Deep Paint) but am not really familiar with it as I've never really had the opportunity to play around with it.  Maybe I'll open her up and see what I can make of it.

Thanks for the idea pleonastic.

That's what I was afraid of.  :)  But I do appreciate the feedback SamTherapy.

Thank you.

Thanks odeathoflife.  I tried it and while it seems to work, when I apply the morph, the ring posts also move with the ropes.  I'm pretty sure it's something "I" did probably in designing the ring in LW (still a newbie with LW), any ideas what I can do to "isolate" the movement only to the ropes?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick response Mendy, it's appreciated. :) Pandorian

OUCH! Just outta curiosity Acadia, if you don't mind my asking, what were you doing when you broke your foot? I mean to break it in 2 or 3 places? That's something I definitely want to side-step (no pun intended) if I can. :)

I hope you feel better soon and also hope you have a speedy recovery Acadia :)

Yep Acadia, I could and normally would cheat, if it were a one-time, or seldomly used render or application. However, I intend to use these gloves quite frequently so it's basically a choice between creating "one" transparency map, or going to Photoshop each and every time I use these glove props and do some sort of postwork. Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it. And I hope everything goes well with your foot.

Mike you are a helluva guy, I appreciate that. I don't use Don or Aiko at all, so all I really need is the gloves for M3. Don't rush it on my account, continue on your regular pace with them, and when they are done, I would DEFINITELY appreciate them being made available to me. Thanks Mike for being so helpful and considerate! :) Pandorian

Man do I feel silly, why didn't I think of that?! :O LOL. Your suggestion works well Petunia, however, I will still need to transmap the wrist portion of the glove as making it invisible doesn't leave me with the desired result. Once again, thanks for stating the obvious..... I totally overlooked that option. :)

Indeed they do, I have them but wanted to see if I could actually find some "fingerless" gloves before I start making transparency maps for them. So far, the ones by Billy T's Modeling are perfect, only they are for M2 and V3, and I need it for M3. Thanks for the suggestion and input, it's appreciated.

Mike (trav) that would be sweet. :) I really appreciate that.

I appreciate the links Mystic-Nights, however, the "Mike's Gloves" they are labeled as Don's gloves.... would they properly fit M3? Also the Bike Gloves appears to be made for M1, would they properly fit M3? In any event I appreciate your help, but I do need them to fit M3 properly. :)

Mike I can wait a bit, in the meantime, can you toss me a link to the gloves you've made for Vicki, Akio, M1/2?

Yeah, I'm familiar with Daz's 19th Century Dandy paks, however, the thought of spending $25 (I'm no longer a Platinum Club Member) for only one item that I would use from that pak (I have absolutely no use nor desire for the rest of the accessories that come with the pak) doesn't really excite me. I also noticed Batlab's Z-Knight clothing set and will probably leave that as a last resort. Thanks everyone for all your help. :) Pandorian
