Um, not with the version 2 actors per se -- though you could make him/her nude and then make the body fully transparent.

There was a male actor for v1 where you could turn on/off every body part, so you could have a headless person, or a decapitated head, or variations of amputation, but it was v1.

Is this something that could be easily added to v2? It'd be great for my movie (zombies!) for body parts lying around, and zombies without an arm and/or leg.

You can use the old V1 body parts certainly but the problem is that while a V1 Actor was built out of parts, the V2 actor is one big mesh, so it can't be broken up the same way...

No, but what you did sounds like it is HORRIBLY inefficient and could very well slow things down. Furthmore, if you try to use facial expressions then it will be a mess. We use decals for beards precisely in order to allow for full facial expressions and facial shape modifications.

I would highly recommend against doing what you described.

its kind of cool, he looks like Santa The only thing about the decals is that i am not able to get a relistic 3d beard out of them.

[Z-Boy]

this is what he looks like

Ha, that's kinda cool. Clever.

...and speaking of innovation, I need discarded clothing and I've been experimenting with creating a person withall parts texured as fabric and them squelching and contorting, lattening him etc. Surely inefficient, it sort of works, - does anyone have any other ideas?

I put a person under the bedclothes by "whiting up" her duplicate to match the covers, tucking in the head, scaling it up a bit, and tucking whole thing over the sleeper.
