Alright guys, I've been using Lightwave since it was even called "Lightwave" and have not come across this problem until now, thanks to the addition of radiosity. My question is this: when rendering a character with conforming clothes AND radiosity, the 'parts' of the clothing that actually make it conforming (i.e. the 'neck' for the P4 fem halter top) show up very nastily. It seems that no matter what I do, i.e. make that particular material transparent, exclude it from radiosity, exclude it from casting shadows, etc, etc, it STILL shows up in the render!! Anyone know of a 'work around' for this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Wulfi, I'not realy sure what you mean, but one of the odd ( but sometimes very useful) things in LW is that 100% transparent objects are still "seen" by the renderengine. So a solution might be to use 100% object dissolve rather then transparency or just "unseen by rays" in the object item properties. hope that is what you were asking for, if not maybe post a pic here that I can see the problem.
