First the bad news : the textures you downloaded are for a mesh dress, probably a posable one. You bring in and pose your figure, save the pose, bring in the dress and apply the same pose to the dress. If you know where you downloaded the textures from, you might find the dress to match at the same site. Now the really bad news: Poser 3 cannot handle transparency maps at all. Someone (and I think it was Jim Burton) did have a work around. Paul
