Is there some way in Maya that you can define a Matte colour when applying a image file with an alpha channel used for transparency?
Just say in Photoshop you draw dark hair on a white background and make an alpha channel. When you apply this image as a texture with alpha-transparency in Maya you will see a white haze around the hair.
I'm looking for something similar to the feature in Photoshop Layer>Matting>Remove White Matte or the dialogue box in After Effects that opens when you import footage with an alpha channel asking you to define the matte colour.
