Hi folks - does anyone know how to obtain variable transparency using a transparency map? I want to make an object have an almost transparent area, say the top half of an egg, which gradually gives way way to a solid material further down.  I tried using a grey-scale tranparency map, but the results make me think Poser can only handle black/white i.e. transparent/solid with no in-between stages.  Any ideas?
