Does anyone know how the invisability feature in P4 works? Can you define shapes or areas on a character to be invisable? Can you animate invisability? (change the invisable area over multiple frames).

You mean Transparency don't you? You assign it to the various areas of the body like the "Skin" in the materials dialog. -Jeff H.

In P3 you can make body parts "transparent" - so what you're telling me is that in P4 you can make textures transparent? Could you make just part of the skin transparent?

No, in p3 you can make parts Invisible. In P4 you can makes the skin look like it's glass or plastic "see-thru". You can do this for each material in the materials dialog or you can do it with a Texture Map. White areas of the map are opaque and from gray all the way to Black makes transparency. -Jeff H.

Bongo, just to clarify, yes, using a transparency map in P4, you can make just part of the skin invisible. - Jim
