Hi All,

Sorry for the urgent post but I have been trying to tackle this for
quite sometime and have not yet found a remedy.  

This evening I have a meeting at which I would like to present a rough
draft of a logo that I have working on.  I'm trying to show a variety
of materials and I am finding that any glass or transparent material
shows the "plane" part of the relief of a world map I am using.  I
simply want the "relief" part; that is to say, just the countries.  

Even though this is a rough draft, I don't want it to be THAT rough.
There's got to be a way of selecting or cutting out and keeping only
the "relief" part of the terrain map and leaving the "plane" behind.
I tried to convert the terrain map to a vertex to attack it that way
but it looses all of its detailed relief information.  I tried
importing it into AMAPI, but still got the same problem; complete loss
of detail in the relief.

Could anyone please shed any light on this?  We meet only once a month
and I wanted to have something to show them.  I can show them the logo
drafts made from other materials, but the glass one looks really nice
and wanted to push that one.  We meet in a couple of hours.  Any help
would be MOST appreciated.

Here is the bitmap that I used in the Terrain Modeler:

Thanks in advance.
