heyas; you would try to load millie in first, wouldn't you? first, the trans maps have to be inverted... not just flipped vertically, but... in the transparency tab, after you click mapped values and load the trans map in the function and flip it... when you get back to the trans tab, there are two graphs next to it. the bottom one is gain, i think, you can ignore that. the top one has to be inverted, so vue reads the black as white and white as black. (poser uses white for opaque, which is backwards from everybody else.) secondly, there are some strange geometries in millie's eyes. if you exported groups, open the head and look for all the eye parts. the outer eye has to be set to transparent. (there was a more detailed thread on this a few weeks ago. brows the archives, or do a search.) #2: sorry, i don't know. #3: this is normal. the views 'hide' everything below the first plane in your scene. either drag the water plane down under the ground plane in the world browser, or go to the options and uncheck 'clip below first plane,' or whatever it's called.
