well, it appears in the material editor that the transmap imported, but it doesent look like it in the render. this iw with backlighting yes, but also it looks like this without. I am thinking since this is the first time i have used .lwo and it is the first time i have come across this issue they are somehow linked (. I am going to try again when i get the kids to bed.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
