Thanks (sorry for double posting)I still have to identify excactly where the
problem is but what you said gives me a clue to a different approach using
black or white with blended textures instead of transmit with layered textures.
Yet I'm not sure it will work as I'm trying to use the back diffuse light which
i guess doesn't show without transparency, does it?
