Ok, im using posette with a texture map as you can see from the picture. I cant seem to understand about trans maps though and what they do. How would you go about making the face (eyes especially) more realistic in terms of transparency etc. Could someone please take a little time out to explain exactly what i need to do. do i have to create my own transparency map or something or can i set it up in the materials editor? hope someone can help daz P.S Dont laugh, im still learning lol

First I'll say that I have a pretty good tutorial at my website for this (link). There are also a few downloads (all of the texture sets include transmaps) From the picture it doesn't look as if you have the texture applied to the entire face (eyebrows) either that or you did not change the base colors to white. I'll give you a quick rundown, images to follow...

here's my posette with the texture set from my site

here are the settings I use for all the body parts, except the eyelashes.

and finally the setting I use for the lashes

Shadow you a star , thanks so much :O)

Wa sectin ae tey under on your site shadow, will victoria textures workon p4 posette female! God theres so many questions everyones gunna get sick of me #:O(

Unfortunately, the eyes themselves can only be made more realistic with the highlights painted onto the texture map. Better yet, use a photo of a real eye. Unlike Vicki, Posette doesn't have the transparent eyeballs that give it the shiny, reflective look. Melanie

Good night and welcome.
