Yes, that is what I expected to happen indeed. Good to know!

<grin> It is fun. I must say that it all seems easier than I thought at the 
start. However,  there is the more challenging stuff still ahead, but I 
expect that by taking one step at the time it will become comprehensive. It 
is worth the effort and time too (Hear! Hear!) as it increases tremendously 
the possibilities for all kinds of scenes, without being bound to the set of 
clothes we are provided with by Poser, good for a start, no doubt, but still 
limited.

Well, now that I have found out how Silo works with uv mapping, any object 
becomes easy because you can cut it up in as many (flat) pieces as you want. 
That does not solve the irregularity issue of the mesh of course. Hmm.. I 
have to think further along this line too...
Interesting! I am now digging into Poser as well as Silo at the same time 
:-)  And I shouldn't forget that Silo's topology brush is perfect for 
designing clothes rapidly!
