I finally managed to get Michael into Bryce and he turned out beautifully. It took time to get his hair transparency to work right, but I did it. I didn't have to tweak the individual textures at all this time. Kattman's suggestion about the Gamma correction worked beautifully. Trying to figure out which object parts are the outer eyebrow and the upper eyebrow is the tricky part. I had to click on each eye part until the right one highlighted, and the upper eyebrow was labeled as "head" with a number after it. But the textures went right into the right places on their own. Kattman, your tutorial is very helpful. I never thought of putting the transparency into another channel. I'll have to give that a try next. Thanks for the great tutorial. Melanie
