I’ve just make some hair and now I want to texture it follow this example:

What’s wrong with it? I appended the texure image from example blender file, tried to tweak z-transparency settings in Materials panel and influence settings in Texture panel but nothing happened.
Please help!

We don’t have much to go on do we?
