Here's how to do it: Texture each part separately... Select the tail part, open up the material lab, pop up the texture and choose TailTX.jpg for the texture and TailTR.jpg for the transmap. Then click the little down-arrow near the top right, and choose Blend Transparency. Then click the little dot for Transparency under the channel that holds the tex/transmap. Make sure Transparency is set at 0. Repeat for the head part, using HeadTX.jpg and HeadTR.jpg. That should work. Let me know if you have more problems. =) Rosh
