disintigrating figures won't render with clothes

I am rendering scenes where the background renders fine ie landscapes objects etc... and If I bring in a naked figure it renders fine. However if I put any clothes on them then I get a salvatore dali image with disintigrating figure or just a ghost with clothes on. I thought it was Iray doing this as I can only render 3delight but I tried a G2 figure and as soon as I put on any clothing she disappears from the render while the clothes remain intact. What gives? I recall having this issue before ( long time ago) but until recently its been fine and now no matter what figure, when I dress them they go ghost.
I appreciate any ideas as I am in the middle of production of a graphic novel. Arrrggg!
the first image is using open GL and the second is using 3delight

I spent a lot of time on figures making sure they had the 3delight version of the textures and then even ran the iray to 3dlight converter but none have made any difference.

No sure if this is the problem, but in the rendersettings advanced tab, check that motion blur is turned off. It often causes characters to go transparent if there is no actual movement in the scene.
wow, that must be it as I was just playing with the motion blur the other day! I will check it out. thanks!
