The Incredible Disappearing Howdah ^^

Hi again y'all ^_^

So I grabbed Noggin's wonderful elephant howdah on the PA sale the other day :D (Along with half a dozen other wonderful things...!)

Everything is working beautifully except for the Howdah MATs. There are two file versions included and I have tried both. But when I apply either, most of the object disappears!

I have seen this happen while trying to use certain shaders, but have not encountered it with a texture file before...

How do I fix...??

    What happens when you render?

    This is an issue with very old Poser materials in DS - due to the difference in the way they set transparency a shortcut that was safe in Poser gives invisible materials in DS. Fortunately it's easy to fix - use the Surface Selection tool (Tools menu) to click on the invisible parts, then in the Surfaces pane find the Opacity slider, click the little square next to it (that pops up a preview of an image when you hover over it) and from the menu that opens select None.

    Wow, thank you very much! It would have taken me weeks to figure that one out ^_^
