Quote - > Quote - I'm going to throw this out and see if anyone has an answer. I've had this problem in Poser 7, 9 and now 2014. Why is it, when I apply a transparency map to an outfit, even if I'm just rasing the hemline- the whole outfit disappears till it's rendered??
I had this too. Is it still in 2014??This is annoying.
Instead of rendering you can also do a "Reload Textures".
Got this responce from Smith Micro about the transparency map problem after I chatted with a tech and sent him a scene file:
For your dress, I created a new image file based off of the existing "Vicky3eveningdress - Marble" one, but in my new image file I drew a bunch of green lines on it to make it obvious it's been edited by me. I saved that new image file under a new name. I then deleted all of the existing material settings for your dress, and re-created the materials using my own material settings and that new image file with the green lines, and the dress then showed up properly. So you can try any or all of those steps I mentioned. Maybe it's the image files itself, or it's the material settings, I don't know, as I just did a blanket wipe of the old materials and started over more or less from scratch (though I did use the same transmap image file) and I can't really troubleshoot third party and extremely old content.
