Next image - the render, which of course looks like crap despite Bagginsbill's magnificent hose shader.

If I just work with the lower leg-feet-toes, it works great! It's just when I try to set up the hips-torso that this issue appears.

Any ideas out there? I'd sure like to get the results some of the other folks here are getting.

Thanks in advance for looking, and any help any of you can provide!
