Hi all, during the works on my current work (Vue is still rendering) I stumbled into the following issue: When I post an alphaplane in front of a dark background it's not completely transparent. You can still see the edges of the plane. Same thing's happening while working with transparency maps applied to objects like plants or hair. For example when the face of a figure like Vickie3 lies in the dark the lashes look like there's no transparency map applied. As soon as I light the face everything looks just fine. Very strange effect, isn't it? Do you have any ideas how this can be fixed? Thanks, Phil

Hi, I've encountered this problem, too. It is not as extreme as in the referenced thread, but more like you in real world you can identify the existence of a totally transparent glass plane by the refraction / reflection on its edge. Something similar sometimes seems to happen to objects having materials with transparency when the sun is right behind it shining through it that you can see the outer edge of the object even where it should be completely transparent.

Hey all, I noticed after a recent update to Vue my Poser Imports weren't working. Parts of the characters were invisible. So I reinstalled Vue and this time after the update when Vue asked where my Poser.exe was I pointed to Poser 5 instead of Poser 4 like I usually do. Now the imports work correctly. Most of my poser files are in Poser4 but I use Poser5 to create and I think this might have caused the problem. Now cloth dynamics and hair both work in Vue and things are much better. I still think that the $400 upgrade to Vue4pro was not worth it. I wish Vue4 had upgraded the renderer so the blurs would look half-way decent instead of giving it to Vue4pro and making it a $400 upgrade to a $176 program.
