Lyne; On checking the tranparency settings... 1) Go through the textures list until you find the texture for the hair. 2) Double click on the texture preview window to bring up the material editor. Make sure the panel is the advanced editor (there is a button at the top left to toggle between the basic and advanced controls). 3) On the lower section of the editor, there should be a series of tabs: Color and Alpha, Bumps, Highlights, Transparency, Reflections, Translucency, and Effects. Select the transparency tab. 4) At the very top left of that tabbed panel is a slider labeled 'global transparency. As your fae's hair and lashes are showing the actual geometry shape, I wager this is set at 0%. Just start sliding it to the right, and you will see the transparency increasing in both the editor window and the texture preview window. If the transmaps did indeed import, then you will see the hair start to assume the look you expected. Once you are satisfied with the way it looks in preview, just hit ok and close the editor. 5) Try a render and see how it looks. ;) The hair through the wing actually -is- there in all of them; the transmap for that hair is kind of aggressive, taking a hefty chunk out of the geometry. Probably made that way so a change in transmap could add a touch of length more. But get to know that material editor; it is your best friend, particularly with imported Poser content. It also lets you add effects that are Vue native, and thus easier on your memory (go to the effects tab and play around with the lighting sliders. Makes glowing eyes very easy to make.....)
