Alpha Trans Problems

[Mrpearlzildjian]

I know I should be used to using this method by now, but I'm not, and I always dread using it because it never seems to work the way it's supposed too.. but anyway, general problem with alpha trans, the geo is still showing, but the diff is masked out, whyy?? I messed with the color balance and alpha gain settings, the map is just a black and white with black where I want the areas masked out, but this is what I get in the render.

I know I know it's noobish to have a problem like this, but I over analyze a lot and problems like this just give me a headache, so that's why I ask all you svelt pros out there. So any help is appreciated, thank you.

You need alpha channels on the specular and gloss maps too, at least thats what it looks like.

I'll give it a try, but I recall breaking the connections for everything but the alpha trans and getting the same result, but I will try it.

Nevermind, you were right, I had to go into Photoshop and mask the spec map. Don't know why I didn't think of that before. Thanks for the help!!
