I am having difficulty setting up this texture map and I was wondering if some one could help me with it. I have made this Transparency for the P4 Vest. And it seems ok, though I want the vest to be parted for the shot, I cant seem to get rid of the visible vest line around the bottom and the neck line. Anyone know what a work around would be for this? Thanks for reading and replying to this. Blacksteel

Blacksteel, I had this problem with a transparency map I did, but I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it. What are your transparency sliders set at? Are they maxed out? Did you completely cover the waistline and neckline with black, and not just stop and the lines? And you used solid black, not a shade of black right? I know these are basic questions, but sometimes we have a tendency to overlook the basic when something goes wrong. If the answers to all these questions are yes, and nobody else has suggestions to help you out, I'd be glad to take a look at your maps and see if I can help you out more. Just an option. If I can help, let me know. Whisper

In Poser you also have to turn the highlight color on the texture for the Vest to black. Highlight is what makes the edges of the "invisible" parts of the mesh show up as ghost lines. This sucks if you are working with a texture you want to be shiny. You can fudge the shine by finding an appropriate reflection map. Liz Pope Dreamspinner Inc.

Whisper- My settings for the Transparency were (Highlight 42%, Trans Min 4%, Trans max 100% falloff 0.60 ) When I made this Transparency map, I used Steve cox's UV maper and Inverted the map (Color), and simply painted the black over the area's with Photoshop. I can't see any other place where the vest is not showing as a diffrent color than Black or white. It's in a RGB format should I change this to a Greyscale? Any help is apreciative. And If you would Like to look at it where could I sent it to? Blacksteel

Thanks Liz.. that did the trick! Now if I can only figure out how to do those nice lace, and mesh looks, I will be a complete! Thanks so much for your help Liz, and Whisper. Blacksteel

{smacks forhead) I always forget about the hightlight color. Glad you found a solution.
