I have no idea how works the Mac. But if you have the same interface as we do for PC, please do the following: When you have imported your figure, click at the small icon at top showing 3 small speres decreasing in size. This will open the material summary and show up all materials used on your figure (in your scene). Find the hair material (there might be more then 1), double-click (PC) in its window. This opens the material editor. There you can now click at the transparency tab and import your transparency material or, if it is already there, increase transparency to 100%. You can also load bums, if they don't import properly, in clicking the bump tab. If this is not clear for you, please write again for more help. Guitta
