hi all! the image in my initial message is a simple bryce render. dont care about the eyes...i deleted everything except SkinHead and Eyebrows to make the lines where these objects intersect more obvious ..... mea culpa! this render is also bryce - premium without the bells, shadows off. here you can see that L and RCornea (also tranparent) do the same thing. so what is wrong with transparencies????? please try it and show me your results... thx Andi
