Sorry. The P3 female has completely different geometry to the P4 female,
so the existing Poser transmaps won't fit. You will have to build your
own after all.

Once you've mastered transparency maps in POV, it might be worth taking
a look at the DigitalBabes hair. It doesn't look quite so good in Poser3
because that doesn't support transparency maps, and you'll have to
convert the texture from JPG to TIF, but it will look so much better in
POV (see the full-size rendering of the model in my tutorial for an
example).
