This isn't Poser 5 hair. It's the morphing flat top from DAZ. I'll check out what Lyne said, but I'm pretty sure that I already have the transparency slider up to 100%. It just looks like the color map and the transmap aren't lining up properly, even though they look the same. I think I also making a character in Poser 4 and use the hair and let vue bring it in an see if it works and then try to figure out what's different. In someways, it's good to do it the hard way. You learn things you wouldn't other wise. BTW, Guitta, I just did you're tutorial on the coconut tree leave mapped to a rectangle. At first I thought - interesting, but when would I use it? And then when I rotated it - suddenly I knew! This is a great way to add foliage to a scene without having to add a lot of trees (and unneeded polygons.) Thanks. Kevin
