When people make costumes they must work around the fact that the avatar is there and they must build around it or use invisaprims which can make it rather unsightly when using alot and big invisprims. I have seen the OBJ file of the avatar and it seems that all the pieces are different objects instead of one big one. So I am wondering could you make it so you can turn off certain body parts so the the are no longer shown but still there. This would make invisaprims almost obsolete for av making.

Another possibility. I raised the idea of having a transparency map you could apply to the body texture a while back, but this would work just as well for most situations and probably be more efficient to implement.
