heyas; when you are working in poser, go to the hair materials, and set transparency minimum and transparency maximum both to 100%. when you open the pz3 in vue 4, check the hair textures and make sure the transparency slider is set to 100%, not 50%. oh, wait, i see what you are pointing at.... make sure you do not use a poser .bum file for a bump map. if you are loading gif files for transparency maps, make sure they are non-interlaced gifs. hmmmm. that is very strange. you might ask e-on about this one. are you using a vue 4 patch?
