That's also crossed my mind as well. I would love to figure out some way to make that work, however I wouldn't say adding shine to a base avatar is completely impossible. I'm sure there's some way to do it using scripts. In any case, how I get my results is not important to me, what is important is getting the results, and making sure they look good. Do you think there's someone out there that would be willing to make a mesh copy of my base avatar body for me? How much money do you think it would cost? Would it be difficult to do so? And do you think I would be able to apply my body textures to the mesh body? The three textures that make up that skin cut off right at my waist and my neck, the two textures on my head and legs being solid grayish-black with my middle body texture being the main design of the body texture. I would probably need three pieces of mesh built to look exactly the same as my body when put together, otherwise the main texture would be stretched and not look the way I want it to. The part that would be from my waist down would need to cut off inside the thighs, because as it is the shin and ankle area of the digitigrade legs are prim with an alpha layer over the base avatar's legs past the point of the thigh. Any further thoughts or ideas on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
