Mild opacity map emergency

[Whithers]

Hello all!

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as my deadline is nigh and I'm having trouble figuring it out.

So: my renders look swell in mplay, but the opacity maps that I have only half-work when the images are rendered to disk.

The maps are in a mantra surface material as .tiffs or .jpgs, and I'm rendering out an .exr sequence with a depth plane. If I use PBR, it works fine even when saved to disk, but with micropoly (which is what I need to use, in this case) there's no joy. The map is only half-working, making the areas that should be invisible just translucent.

I've tried adjusting the tint.

Thanks!

Can't you use "Micropolygon PBR" in this case? Either that or you can build your won shader instead of using the Mantra Surface Shader...

Thanks for responding, man.

I sorted it out but am still wondering why it happened...
