Is there a way to individually color different parts of the body? In other words, to make the hands a different color than the arms, make one leg a different color than the other leg, etc? The only material I saw in there was "SkinBody", which changed the color for the entire figure at once. How can I get around this? I THOUGHT I had found a workaround: I selected the body part in question, exported it as a Wavefront OBJ, imported it right back in, positioned it correctly, highlighted the original, and hit "Replace body part with prop", thus replacing the original with the imported copy. So now I should have an identical copy of the original, but it's a separate object, so it can have its own material, right? Wrong! As soon as I hit "Replace body part with prop", the formerly identical copy warped out of control, and suddenly looked less like an arm than like a wrung-out sponge! What the **** did I do wrong? And is there a simpler way of achieving the effect I want?
