Thanks for the reply. I knew that it would not show in the window, but even when I render it, the stuff still does not show up. That is why I think that I am doing something wrong. Or that I am doing something out of order. I really can't figure it out! Is there a process or something? Does the trans map have to go on before the skin textures? Or does something else have to be done, some kind of option set somewhere? I've played with it, but I can't come up with anything. Any other suggestions? :) Thanks.
