More Matte please

I was creating a costume for one of my characters when I came up with an idea. I wanted to make his costume all black, with just a starburst aura around him. Like a Solar eclipse deal... I didn't like how reflective the tights were, so I looked for a less reflective texture. I saw the Matte options for the gloves and they looked great. Unfortunately, I only saw the option for boots after that... nothing else had it.

Why?

Is there any specific reason as to why the Matte textures were only placed in the gloves and boost section of the costume designer? I'd kinda like to see it show up for chest, legs, and mask if at all possible.

Thanks. =)

I think for males you could just set your skin to black and then use bare chest (and bare hands would work then, too), but I'm not sure about pants. Does the black undies on black skin look work for you? =3

Nope. It seems the skin is as reflective as the regular tights. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Maybe I'm delusional but doesn't Tights have that option? As opposed to Tights Sleek? Or does that one work so that there's a slight discrepancy between sleeves and gloves and between pants and boots to avoid that naked natural look?

Not that there is anything wrong with that naked natural look... it's not like any model is anatomically correct down there. It's a miracle there are so many heroes and villains running around.

If you set it up (and your graphics aren't turned down too much) you should be able to see a difference. It may be my hidden OCD talking, but nothing really matches up. You can see the highlight just stop once it gets to the Matte gloves/boots.

In the end it's only a minor difference... but I'm a bit of a perfectionist... Kind of like how I never use the Stone Skin when I use the reverse joint legs because the boots don't have a Stone Skin to go with it. Stuff like that irks the hell outta me.

Cloning.
Probably the reason we don't see any children around.

You may have a point there.

It would be great, also not all boots have the matte finish either...
