Pardon me for digging out an old thread, but I have a question about this. When you open a p4 model that has a transparency map applied, P5 creates a node called transparency_map, and not image_map. Is there any difference between an image_map node applied to the transparency plugs, or a P4 converted transparency_map? I can't seem to find any way (short of hacking the cr2) to make a transparency_map node. Is this just a quirk of using old stuff? I can't seem to ever get transparencies to work in poser 5 when I try to apply them from scratch. Am I missing something?
