Hi, I try to make a short with PT pant. If i believe Daz site, it should works with transparency mode. All I got is a ghost pant (see pic). What's wrong ? Laurent

Did you use a long pant for it? it seems that you must edit the mesh. Seravajan

i use the long pant, but the daz site isn't very clear about the way to transform it into short pant. Laurent

You might try pulling down the materials menu and looking for a setting that says "long pants" or whatever, then turning off any texture to that material and turning the max and min transparencies up to 100%. That's how it works w/ Vicky's DAZ pants, anyway.

nothing like that :( only pant, without texture Laurent

I don't own the mil kids, so I'm obviously the wrong person to try to help--but what all does it say under the materials menu (top right of your screen shot)? What options does it give you?

this menu contains: capri,short,pant,band and preview short is the first segment, pants is the last pant segment

Just took a look at your pants figure (finally). Try turning the object color to white.

So what you've got now is capri, I guess. If you want shorts, then make the pants and capri segments transparent.

Either make sure the highlight color is set to true black or simply douple click on that portion of the pants and uncheck the visible box in the window that comes up.

i tried with true black and then true white and get the same result.

Daio posted Fri, 05 April 2002 at 8:29 AM

Make sure the highlight size is 0% too

still "ghosty", but i can't get furhter than 1%

You can't? That's odd. I can set the highlight to 0%.

Laurent, When you set the highlight to true black did you check the RGB values or did you choose the last color under Custom Colors? because the black under Custom Colors isn't actually black. Also make sure that both Transparency Min and Transparency Max are both set tp 100% Chris Cox
