Here's the thing - I didn't know I had to set a transparency slider. Now, five minutes later, I've selected the "Skin" part of the figure and gave it 100% transparency. Hey presto - instant man with chunk of his arm missing. :o) The other thing is, despite having full 100% transparency selected for it, there's like a skin coloured aura around the transparent bits. Is this caused my the balck bits being painted onto only one side of the body? I'E., the front half? My conclusion (stop me if I'm wrong!!) - if you tell a transparency map to apply to a certain body part, it will only make the parts of the body invisible which are under black pixels, white parts will not change, and you get gradient transparency depending on the darkness or luminosity of greyscale used...? Thanks for all your help, guys! Cheers! - Hairy
