One thing I have learned is that those of us transporting favorite characters from P4 to P5 have some work cut out for them when it comes to transmaps. P5 has an extra transparency trait called Transparency_Edge. It does not appear to draw any traits or settings from your P4 character CR2s. Therefore it is set at 0. You will want to alter that. Otherwise your transparencies will appear rather translucent rather than transparent and you get all sorts of odd appearances. The image on the left is before adjusting the new Transparency_Edge trait, the one on the right after. I set the Transparency_Edge at the same setting as the Transparency. I know this sounds simple but it took me almost 4 hours to figure it out. The manual did not help much. So if this saves anyone a few hours great. BTW, the images were done with Firefly. Nothing fancy. I am just experimenting with various things so I am keeping my test subjects rather simple. casamerica

It took me that long to realize the same thing. But it does work good when you use the Edge setting. I think it is like the "Transparency Min" in Poser4 Bill

It took me that long to realize the same thing.<<< Whew! That's good. I thought maybe the gin was affecting my search and research capabilities... or is that search and destroy? Oh, well, doesn't matter. You're right. Now that I figured that out it works as smooth as my registration did... was... is... did! I'm messing with the flash export now. This should be a trip. casamerica

Do you get that same affect (effect?) with the P4 renderer? And by the way, Cas, how did your registration go?

"Transparency_Edge" - now, that's an intuitive name... ;[P

I know that is what I got under Firefly. >>>And by the way, Cas, how did your registration go?<<< What registration? What are you talking about? ;-) casamerica
