Lighting an image prop

[ginger04 1]

Hi!

Could anyone explain me please, why the image props can not be rendered properly when the lighting is set? I mean, the boundary of an image is seen - just like there was no transparency, and there is no light seen on the field which should be transparent. I know that I can turn off the lit fog but it's so limiting then and there is a lack of reality. Is it really a no way situation? Thanks in advance!

Could you post an image so we can see what you mean?

Other people tried to put some image props and render it when lit fog (or any other kind of fog) was turn on and didn't see any proplems (one of them is using VW 12 and the other VW2009). I am using VW2008 version...so maybe that is the problem... any suggestions?

Could be that there is a problem with the VW2008 version or maybe just a setting.

Do you have all the SP for VW08?

I think the settings are ok because VW creates the appropriate settings automatically when the 3D symbol (image prop) is pluged-in (mask transparency etc.). I have only SP3 (Build 88670)applied - I don't think the previous service packs are necessary...
