Hmm, i'm having trouble with this, I'll explain a bit further what i'm trying to do.

I have an image on one square poly, what i'd like to do is have another poly in front of this one also with an image on it, except that the middle area of this image is transparent, so that if you were facing them, you'd see through the hole in the first poly to the image on the one behind it.

However, when I make up an image in photoshop with the middle transparent, save it as a .psd and then load it up in Lightwave, all I get is the area thats supposed to be transparent, white. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
