Oh, and it has nothing to do with a transparancy applied Load anything. Apply a transmap to it. It becomes invisible. That's how Poser works, doesn't it? And in the case of hair, in order to get those fine strands at the ends, you have to apply a transmap.... which makes the hair prop disappear (more or less). I dont think it has anything to do with code, it's just the way the program expresses this particular function in operation.
