Does anyone here know how to get transparency maps working correctly in Carrara... I have had a devil of a time.. and nothing seems to work.. tried a negitive image of a poser transmap too.. and a image that I finished. this is the Bryce version of it, Carrara renders much better :) http://darrinsden.com/gallery/graphics/bikereflect.jpg

Hi Darrin, I hope all is well. :) Thats one hell of a bike. Um,, I'll take 2 please. One for me and one for da wife. ;) The Carrara render does look a lot better. Thanks for sharing your images. I dont know the answer to your question. Have you tried the Carrara One-List? www.onelist.com Regards, Clint

Thanks Clint, I will check them out :) I do love Carrara and the rendering engine in it... though I have only had it for a couple days... I will be taking you up on your shaders deal to as it looks really helpful! thanks wyrwulf, glad you liked it... took 4 hours to render too... UGH Darrin

Hi, I had the same issues with the transparency but figured out the problem. In RD5.5 I was used to assigning a color to the object + transparency. In Carrara, there cannot be a color assigned to the material. Color is acheived through using color shaders in the highlights and shinniness channels. Hope it helps. Mark
