UPDATE

SO I used the free version of Daz Studio 4 and my Daz assets to make the same charater model with clothing and hair.

I did a Collada output using the XSI preset and changed nothing else.

Then I imported into Softimage 2012 using Crosswalk with no changes to the settings.

now the model looks great but when I do an area render the model is not seen but the hair is visible......,

What gives?
