Here's a challenge for you

Create a material that uses the alpha channel of a texture as transparency in RIS

And yes, that IS a challenge, with only two solutions

being able to use (read and write) RSL 2.0 is the heart of PRman. The only people that should be using PRman are people who understand what they're doing at a deep level with many years of CG experience not iray babbies.
