Yes, you can strip everything out of the pose file except the transparency channels. And likewise for the texture map.

Download my Ziggy Hair from Free Stuff if you want to study some trans MATs.

Here's an example of a MAT pose that changes only the transmap.

{<br></br>version<br></br> {<br></br>   number 4.01<br></br> }<br></br>figure<br></br> {<br></br>   material Hair<br></br>               {<br></br>           tMin 1<br></br>              tMax 1<br></br>              tExpo 0<br></br>             transparencyMap ":Runtime:Textures:Furrette2:ZigHair_trans.jpg"<br></br>                             0 0<br></br>         }<br></br>   }<br></br>}<br></br>

And here's a MAT that changes only the texture:

{<br></br>version<br></br>    {<br></br>   number 4.01<br></br> }<br></br>figure<br></br> {<br></br>   material Hair<br></br>               {<br></br>           textureMap ":Runtime:Textures:Furrette2:ZigHair_Brown_tex.jpg"<br></br>                              0 0<br></br>         }<br></br>   }<br></br>}
