That bikini looks great.  How does BLacksmith avoid the stretching pattern issues? I went and read about it, it says you can create textures right over the seams with worrying about matching.  How does it do that? Did it work?

Xandi.. it's kind of hard to explain.. but say in photoshop.. where you have the color picker.. blacksmith has a color picker too for its paint brush.. and you can choose the pattern the paintbrush lays down.  In the same part, you can choose a texture and instead of painting with your color.. your paintbrush paints with the texture.  Since it paints right on the model in 3D.. you don't get the stretching.  Although, I did the same bikini in a seamless snakeskin pattern, then made the girls boobs huge.. and the pattern got stretched out.  Then again, put a 34C bikini with a snakeskin pattern onto a real woman with 38DD's and the pattern is going to be warped all out of shape too.  You'll see what I mean when I post the next render tomorrow.  How it performs it's magic is a mystery to me; but, I don't care.. it just works.  As far as the coding goes and the behind the scenes.. I dont' enter that zone.. dragons be there.
