Hello!

I have just started working with Poser 10 after a long time using DAZ Studio and there is one thing where I need a little help:

How can I make parts of clothes (or shoes, hair, or whatever) invisible or remove them completely when I dont want them?

In DAZ Studio I opened the surfaces tab, looked for the material zone and turned its opiacity to 0%. Then it was gone, in preview and in the render.

In Poser 10 I tried the same in the material room and set the transparency to 100%. But that does not work. It becomes transparent, but the outlines are still visible, which makes it a bit look like glass.

So, how is that done correctly in Poser 10?

Thanks in advance!

you'd need to set specular to 0, remove reflect if there is any, etc.

Really? Ok, then it is more work than I am used to :-)

Thanks for the answer!

you could save it to the material library as a transparency preset,

then it'll be one click from now on.

There are multiple ways to make parts invisible.  The quickest way is through the Hierarchy Editor found through the Windows part of the taskbar above or the Parameter/Properties Panel.  This is illustrated above.  Clicking on the eye in the Hierarchy Editor controls invisibility. The 3rd method, which is more involved, is create a black & white transparency mask to hide the unwanted parts.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I will try all methods and see which one is the best for me.

As above - set diffuse/highlight/ambient/reflection to solid black 0,0,0 from the color picker. Transparency AND Edge to 100% with no map. Save to material library for later use.
