Hi

Please can someone tell me if it's possible to do this is Carrara 5 and how to do it:

I'd like to put a large sticker on a shiny metal box but the sticker has a large square hole in it (near the middle) through which you can see the box surface. I think that I'm supposed to use the alpha channel but whatever I try, it doesn't work.

Secondly, if I map a bitmap directly to a surface, I get excellent renders. If I map a bitmap to a layer (created with the layer tool in the texture room), the renders are awful. The rest of the object renders beautifully but the bitmap that's on the layer is terrible!

I hope I've made myself clear - I've been trying for days but I cant get either of these to work!
