Hi! Gosh, I'm clueless. I'm trying to get to grips with transparency maps, specifically, getting realistic eyelashes and eyebrown on figures. Using UVMapper and Photoshop, I created an image to use for a transparency map, and applied it to the Poser4 Nude Woman figure (in the 'Transparency' section) while leaving the texture and bump maps to default. When I render the image, I see the outline of the lashes and brows I painted, but they appear overlaid on top of the 'fin' of the figure's eyelashes-- it is still visible. I have been looking over tutorials on the Web as well as the manual and I must be missing something. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrongly?
