heyas; okay, i see. you put the fur base texture on the model, and then just the trans-part on the conformer, is what you mean. rather than putting a flat and trans pieces on top of the base. hmmm... so, bt, did you figure out how to get the trans-mapped parts to use the same colour as the base mesh texture, but still be trans-ed? that's been driving me nuts. i hope the randomization is something lightwave can do. it isn't too spiffy in the scattering and randomizing departments :/
