Hi, thanks...I'm wondering - do you mean "apply 'alpha' settings"? It seems that transparency settings, in Cinema at least, would just make then more or less transparent. What I get from an export is 'solid' geometries , then I go to the poser tex files for the hair to apply the textures and the result is textured solid geometries..... I tried to apply the same hair texture as an alpha but nothing happened. I'll work on it some more because if you did it in Bryce, then possibly it can be done in C4D. Many thanks - more suggestions are very welcome! tantrikk
