... here's how to use V3 trans maps for pubic hair on Victoria 4 (in Poser 5 and up).

You need two blender nodes and two image map nodes, one with the trans map for V3, and one with a mask to blend out lashes and brows of the transmap. In the SkinHip material, create the nodes and connect them as follows:

  1. Blender node 1 is connected to the Diffuse_Color instead of the texture map. The texture map is connected to input 1. Input 2 gets the color for the pubic hair. Blending is set to 1 and has blender node 2 as input.
  2. Blender node 2 has a black input 1. Input 2 is the image node with the trans map. Blending is set to 1 and has the mask image as input.
  3. Set the Background color of the two image nodes to black, and Image_Mapped to None. The scaling and offset is as follows: - U_Scale: 0.2

For V4 head with V3 body, it's: - U_Scale: 0.22

Here's the mask to remove everything but the pubic hair from the trans map.

You must be psychic, I'm here taking a break from twiddling with adjusting UV co-ord's  to fix this very issue.

Dimension3D:

Am I missing somthing? Why not go into MSPaint, and just paint everything black that you don't want to show up, and save it to another name? Wouldn't that simplify the number of nodes needed?

Yes, lkendall, of course you can also use the mask in a paint program and then use the result as blending input in blender 1. It's just a question whether you want to avoid image nodes or image files.
