Back I think my question may have been lost among all the Poser discussion messages, so I am resubmitting the original mailing:
I just looked over the Snow flake file that Brian Hinton provided with his article on particles in the new 3d e-magazine for Carrara. I noticed that when the rectangular "snowflake" squares rest flat on the ground plane, the transparency effect is gone. I see a flat rectangle with a flake in the center. Is this an issue with the particle emitter?
I tried playing with the shader and with the render settings... even with light through transparency checked and full ray tracing selected I can still see a rectangle when the particle lays flat on the infinite plain used as the ground surface.
The only thing that worked was to raise the ground plane up higher, so that the particles passed clear through it before laying flat.
