Your best bet is to uv map them with Steve's UV Mapper He has some tutorials there on how to use the program... That should get you started. Sprout

http://www.interneteye3d.com/Tutorials/default.asp You might also find the two Tutorials "Customising Poser Clothing, Parts 1 and 2 helpful. They're written by our very own Renapd! And while you're there, don't forget to go to the regular Internet Eye Magazine (link at bottome) and check out the 2D tutorials as well, TONS! And if you have the email option checked, Hi Sprout!

Here's a really simple start though: to get the idea of how this works, grab the template for a shirt or something (templates come with poser, maybe on the extra content cd, or you can make them with uv mapper. paint a big black circle in the middle of the shirt wiremap image. Paint everything else white(paint over all the remaining lines). Load that as your transmap on the shirt, turn transparency max to 100% and falloff to 0, and render it. There should be a big hole in the middle of the shirt. Yay! Canary
