There are three kinds of filters for a material : transparent (the one used when you alpha-out), team color, or no-filter. If the material of the geoset using the skin you alpha-out is using "None" or "Teamcolor" instead of "Transparent", there are two possibilities :
- you can change in the mdl the filter mode to "Transparent" without wasting the concerned geoset. Then it will solve your problem.
- changing the filter mode is not a thing you can do or it would waste the model, then tell me and I'll remove the tusks using model edits (are the "tusks" the great horn-like teeth of the tuskars ? (I'm French)).

EDIT : there is another filter it seems ("Additive"), though I don't know how it works.

I don't think I can acces anything In the mdl let alone change anything, so I would be really tankfull if you would do that for me, and yes the tusks are the teeth, geuss I posted in the wrong forum.
merci beaucoup.

Here they are, the three Tuskar models (the two with an axe and the one with a spear). When I deleted the tusks it created holes in the beard (really disturbing) so I had to move a few vertices to fill the gaps, I don't think it is noticeable.
Here they are :

Don't know for pandas, but without the tusks they make quite good humans. You know, the fat old forester telling amazing stories on long winter evening, or just a barman.
