Okay, I think I have it figured out. Here's my process: 1)In Poser, loaded up Vickie. Posed and added props and hair. 2) Saved as a new character for safe keeping. 3) Export the object file using default settings. 4) Use UV-Mapper and save flipped. No mtl library though. 5) In VUE3 load the object and apply the standard maps. 6) For the transparencies, do the trans/invert stuff. 7) Render it and see the pretty picture. 8) Pat myself on the back for being so damn brilliant 8-} I think I will try a different approach that I used in Bryce that worked pretty good. Export the main model with the ground attached and the same for the props. Then import each one and group them deleting the ground from each. This way I could work on each individual mesh for trans and texture. Anyways, thanks everyone for the help. Might figure this out yet. Oh, bloodsong, that option 'clip below first plane' doesn't seem to work. I just set up the scene and add the water plane last. Thanks, jJ
