Rendered Chief

He looks a little better but the transparency on his facial hair isn't working. Other particles I tested do retain their transparency, but they had dissolve channels. The great thing about this is that I can render an entire scene with 6.5 LWOs instead of sticking to the limited 5.x, then save the render as a .mov or some other video for editing. I also saw "antialiasing: off" in the render box, so there's an option for that somewhere.
