I played with this problem a little more tonight. I even tried to save the object as a vob file (I thought maybe Vue would handle intersections better with its own format). My conclusion : transmaps are the way to go. I will post my experiment when it is done rendering (still another 6 hours at least). I also noted something funny : - take an object in vue (ex. the head of a poser character) - duplicate it (but do not move it) - apply a transmap to reveal one half of the first object - apply a transmap to reveal the other half of the duplicate You would expect to get a full object, made of two 'halves' and the rest hidden by the transmaps.... wrong. The duplicate remains completely invisible until you move it a little.
