I am trying to make part of this mask prop appear broken so I decided to try to make my own trans map. Now the way I understand it is black is transperent and  white visiable correct?

Well when I load the map and set the value to 1.00000 in the material room and render you can still see part of the mask I want gone :( any ideas of what I did wrong?
