Simple, actually. Transparency maps work on a light-to-dark scale. The Poser manual suggests using black and white, and it really does work best. Black is transparent, any color lighter than black is visible. The higher the color, the more visible it is. The top right image appears to have been done thusly: Get the texture map and paint black lines across it, in a venetian-blind pattern. The skin color is left the same, since it is lighter. Now apply that texture in Poser, but set the figure's transparency to full (all sliders to the right). Now adjust the skin color of the figure darker (you may have to get way down into the color scale to get it right). This should produce similar results. The above image appears to have perpendicular lines for the arms. If you can duplicate that filter effect (some sort of swirly-gig?) then you can try to get the swirls to land on the arms, bending the lines so that they are continuous yet even. Here's an image I did using a transparency map on the catsuit. Newc
