Please help!
If I load hair or clothes with Transpamapps and a character, the hair and the transparent clothes almost never where rendered.
Sometimes it helps to refresh the scene, but mostly remain the hair and the clothes invisible.
I tried to change quite a lot in the material settings, if I load the same hair or clothing individually then these renders properly and the material settings are the same as in the scene.
What's going wrong?

Hi There

I suspect you are running out of texturemap slots in the graphics card (so the trans maps are being treated as "black"). When rendering, hover your mouse over the bottom status bar of the viewport to get the texture statistics.

Check the FAQ for tips on saving texture slots. If you are running out of grayscale slots, rightclick the various figures and prop in the Material tab of the plugin and select the "Remove bump maps" option.

Also, when posting an issue, pls follow the guidelines in this thread http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=26624 (so that I know what cuda drivers, RAM, etc you have).
