Okay, so following Desdemona's (I believe that was the name) advice, I fiddled around some more with my gothic claws to try the long nail effect and this is what I managed to do. The character's nails are made of a crystal-type substance and extend into claws when she fights. A WIP. Comments, suggestions?

Looks great! How did you fix the problem you were encountering? :) Jay

Cool! Hmmm...Poser doesn't render glass, water or crystal effects too well unless your using version 5. If your on P4, try this site's tutorial material settings...

Awesome. I saw the original post and this looks great.

Wow! That tutorial was great, Desdemomonna! Here's the new render, her nails look much more like I wanted them to now. Thanks!

In answer to jay's question: I didn't. I couldn't fix the nails themselves. So I took my gothic claws and turned 'off' everything but the left hand claw section (including the bands that sit around the tips of the fingers). Then I scaled each of the claws and bent/twisted/side-to-sided them until they were coming out roughly where the nails would be on her hand. I stripped all material off them and played around with transparancy (and now followed the tutorial Desdemmonna gave me) until they looked like I wanted.

Thanks again everyone!
