Hmm, maybe its the color. You and Jim aren't getting the 'head' coming through on the top but I'm wondering if you selected all the parts, including the 'head' part. It doesn't look as transparent as mine--more like the 'head' doesn't have the transmap applied. You know--up there along the part. All the strands are transmapped, obviously, but the top just doesn't look as 'sheer' as mine. You are also getting the shadows--I left mine one but made the density of the shadows quite a bit less. Interesting how different they all look. Diane B
