so i didn't think it would be the textures them selfs so i opened one up and it looks like the transparcy is way up. you can barly see the textures in gimp. there TGA so i never really messed with them but it looks like i might need to contact Dex soft. Thanks for the quick reply Ron

@ Shane, can you post any screenshots of your problem as its easier to help. Don't forget your sky settings can also dramatically affect your models appearance if you have altered them at all.

In the diffuse map of the material what is the color set to? Try setting it completely white, also try setting the minneart constant to 1.
