Load your figure. Bring up the Group Editor as I've done here. Select one of her leg parts.

Once you've done this for all the parts, you can then choose my material for the "Stockings" zone.
I suggest you save this modified character back to your runtime so you won't have to do this again.
For figures, such as V3 and V4, that already have leg zones, you won't need to do this. However, you might want to anyway, so you only have one leg zone to deal with. Just choose each part and assign them to the same material zone.
For V4, the upper thighs and buttocks use a different color map than the legs. You cannot use a single material for both areas. You'll have to do any material loading and editing on two zones for V4. You may also have to choose individual polygons to keep the stockings from covering the entire torso.
Once she's set up, do experiments only with the legs. Once you have all the adjustments finished, copy the settings to the other zone for the upper thighs and buttocks.

See the Image_Map on the upper right, called Color_Sample? Load the 20 sample colors you saved earlier into that node. You can then use the node display widgets to hide the parameters and show the colors.
See the second Image_Map under that called Skin_Color? You need to load the correct color map for your figure into there.

So let's talk about the parameters.
Stocking_Color: This should be obvious - what color are the stockings?
Denier: Real life stockings talk about Denier which is a measure of how dense the material is. I've tried to make this parameter work close to real life.
A rough rule of thumb for Denier is:
Sheer fashion hosiery: 5 to 15 (most real ones come as 7, 10, or 15)
Panyhose: 20 to 40
Tights: 40 to 80
Sheerness: I've rolled up a bunch of physical characteristics into this one parameter. It captures the difference between opaque materials like cotton, versus in-between like silk, to highly translucent and shiny materials like nylon. So sheerness will take all this into account. A rough rule of thumb for Sheerness is:
Matte = 20
Soft = 40
Sheer = 60
Super Sheer = 80
Ultra Sheer = 100
Of course you can use any numbers in between for these two parameters. I'm just giving you a few key values to keep in mind.
Finally there is Glitter. This will make little sparkly highlights. This also follows a 100 point scale, but you can turn it even higher. Note that for the best glitter, use a Render setting Min Shading Rate = .2. Values of .5 are faster but not as fine. If you're not using glitter, Shading Rate = 1 is fine, as long as the rest of your scene is ok with that, too.

So now I've explained the parameters and how to set them. Now I'll show you a huge bunch of renders. You can use these as reference charts to be able to figure out what values you want to use.

Black, White, Gray, Charcoal, Cream
Bone, Khaki, Taupe, Nude, Cafe au Lait
These were rendered with Denier=20 and Sheerness=40.

Remember! These are just samples - you can use any colors you like. You can also design your own color picker and load that into the Image_Map node instead of mine.

Ok I'm done. You're welcome to add questions or comments.
I did all those Denier, Sheerness, and Glitter charts in black. If you'd like to see a chart in some other color, just ask.
I can make them in minutes, now, because I found a cool way to automate the process.

heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
Realy wonderfull :thumbupboth:
So it will be realy easy for you to add a mask for the stockings tops if the seamguides ( sorry i'm french ) will be horizontaly and verticaly centered ...
I don't know how you find the time to understand all these nodes ... :blink:

A few days ago Ockham posted a thread asking about a silk hosiery hosiery texture. A couple other people showed interest, particularly Acadia. Since Acadia is always so helpful, I decided to do a massive freebie. Here it is.Attached is a Poser material file, stockings.mt5. I had to add ".txt" to be able to post it here. Save the attachment as stockings.mt5 (or any name you choose) somewhere in your materials runtime.
The purpose of this shader is to simulate the appearance of various styles of hosiery directly on your figure's legs. Of course you can use a clothing prop, but those often have all kinds of complications with poke through. Plus, you can't even find any for some figures.
So here's a solution using your figure's legs alone. Of course it works best if we can't see the figure's toes. The reason is this shader will be applied to the leg geometry, instead of a "sock"
over the foot. The toes will look like they're in a glove instead of a sock. Also, this isn't going to work too well if you're looking for stocking tops on the thighs. But if your character is wearing shoes and a skirt or dress, this is a great solution.
There is a long of math in this shader. You don't need to worry about that. I've tried to make it as simple as possible to use.
There are only 4 parameters you need to deal with. Each of these is in a clearly marked node in the top left corner of the shader.
I'll be posting quite a few replies to this thread with plenty of instructions and hundreds of demonstration renders, so please hold questions or comments until I say I'm done.
Ready?
