Hello Danny, My comments are based upon the assumption that you know how to already apply a texture map within Carrara. I'll also assume that you are importing an OBJ poser export. I've always used the UV mapper utility to create 'new' artwork for the OBJ file. I'll then create a new trasparency map and apply it to the transperency channel with the 'texture map' feature found in the shader tree. I don't want to insult you if you already know this stuff. Are you familiar with the processes that I've described? Mark
