I was asking this after the update because I knew it was an issue before. Anybody getting their transmaps coming in? Did this get reported? I notice the location to the transmap file is correct in the mtl file, but the transmaps are the only ones that don't make it. This implies Carrara is at fault. With lots of transmaps for these poser figures you want to go bananas :D
No need to think outside the box....
Just make it
invisible.

No, I meant when you import an object do you transmaps end up in the trans channel. I get all my textures, but those I have to manually locate and apply. This is just a direct obj import tho.No tranposer.

I've noticed that some of my transmaps end up in the Alpha Channel but for some reason they still work. I'm new to Carrara so I don't know 'why' they work being in the Alpha channel, but they do. Been a Poser user for 5 years. Check the Alpha channel. If it's there and nothing's in the Transparency channel, just leave it. It will work.

No alpha channel would be great and preferred.Transparency is just what they are called, most are all alpha now. They were probably created as an alpha, which is better.That usually just involves a reversal of color, but only if the trans color is not black. I don't use poser, these come fro D|S, however, I don't see an issue w/ the files that are output the paths seem correct, but only transmaps don't make it. You can call them alpha maps, but now they all basically mean the same thing.

oh ok I didn't know that alpha maps & transmaps were the same thing. At this point, reading what everyone has said I guess my alpha or transmaps are fine too. Maybe your problem has something to do with D/S because it works fine with Poser...
