EricCBoston: Welcome aboard! Glad you like Antonia. I see the poor girl got caught by Spa Police for being overdressed. :laugh:

cobaltdream: Good to read you! It's been a while. When I saw people advocate lots of material zones, I thought by myself "hmm, Cobalt would have to say something about that".

I just checked. The "old UVs" version of Antonia has four material zones for skin: skinBody, skinScalp, skinFace and lips. The new version by MikeJ has five: skin_ARMS, skin_LEGS, skin_BODY, skin_HEAD and lips. Because of overlays, the best we could do to bring that down is two zones for the old UVs and four for the new ones. Since there are both advocates for lots of zones and for as few as possible, I think I've found a bearable compromise.

MikeJ was planning to do another UV mapping without any overlays. That would have been ideal for minimizing the number of zones. But I haven't heard from him in quite some time, so I don't know what happened to that project. There's also the V3 compatible mapping that dphoadley made. It's not released yet AFAIK, but I'm sure if someone asked nicely, he'd let them have a look.

For those who find VSS too awkward to use, maybe someone versed in Poser Python could make a "copy materials" script? If such a thing doesn't already exist.
