Hi Folks! Nice work, Marc! Now that you mention it, perhaps I can now post a question about transp maps. I used P4's transparency maps feature and Photoshop to create a transp map for a woman's briefs [I would say "panties" but there's children watching :-) ] using the biker shorts as the template. It works fine at first, but if I try to adjust the model to another post I get an error message--something about "texture map cannot be found or read." The end result is that any subsequent renders will only display the default bike shorts--the transp map will not render any more. In some cases, the female woman texture--default or custom--is disabled as well, and the figure will take on the texture of the bike shorts. I suspect it might be a memory issue (I can only allocate 60mb to P4 until I add more RAM), but I wonder if you are anyone else has encountered this as a bug. Peter (Dr Zik)
