>> Any ideas would help us greatly PMJI, but try using the same map as a shininess map, so that no highlight appears on the transparent area. Also, I believe you should check the ADD/SUB buttons and try SUB to give you complete transparency. Finally, in your 3ds.set file, make certain you are setting NEW-SUBTRACTIVE-TRANSPARENCY = OFF. (Please check the syntax, because it might be wrong. I just can't get to my 3ds.set file from this workstation.) The new transparency gives richer colors, but won't go fully transparent.
