Which is what is transparent? white or black?

white is what you want to keep black is what you want to disappear. Black is the transparency. S check out my tutorial Creating Transparency Maps for Poser 4 http://jupiter.spaceports.com/~omnitut/poser/index.html if you need more help Hope that helps Storm

Thanks, Storm. I had to play with that myself to figure it out, because there is NOWHERE in the entire "Useless Manual" that tells you this. I searched the entire book and it completely fails in this area (well, in most areas, actually). It very briefly defines what a transparency map is and how to apply it, but it doesn't explain the components of it or how it works. Thank goodness for experts like you, who can give the right information. Melanie

That's what we are here for S All of us to learn and to help others S I am glad it helped you and if you need anything else don't hesitate to ask

The manual DOES tell you that, but the way it's written, it doesn't make sense unless you already know... Kind of like, oh, 60% of the book... :-) (Frequently I've gone through the manual, and said: "So THAT'S why [such and such] works. I should read this more often" then put it back in storage again...).
