Silke, thanks for that. It does work on this mac. Transparent areas in the imagemap show thru the diffuse color. But now that I know how to do this, I am not having good results...actually my own maps look fine but the stock maps for DAZ animals looks like crud for some reason. See the lion in the attached. It's using the imagemap supplied by DAZ but looks very strange. The imagemap itself looks okay, but they sure didn't color within the lines very well. Maybe that's the problem, or maybe it's something else I can't figure out. The zebra is okay I guess, but the monkey looks real flat. I guess this all takes a lot of tweaking and I am not sure where to begin...thanks for any tips in advance!!! Contest Entry Draft... http://www.extreme-nepal.com/forumboards/DVD_Game_Cover.jpg
