Stage Two. Got rid of the "Texture Templates" which Poser was obviously pointing to instead of the real textures. Maybe the default hair is meant to look like this but I can't believe it does.

On the left, what I get with any transparency, after rendering (I can't find any transparency maps for default hair). On the right, just the default hair texture enabled, but when it renders it looks like the same lump as the Un-rendered lump. So what's the point of having textures if they still look like lumps. If I do this process exactly the same with 3rd party hair it shows up fine, just like it does in the Authors' screenshots.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here please? I've seen screenshots of default figures with default hair (Poser 4) and it does look like hair, if not as good as third party stuff.

In depair!
