Hand Model Help - Obscenity Engine - 12-01-2012

I've been trying to find a way to make the lantern and Daniel's hand invisible for something I am working on, but I haven't been able to find a way to make it happen. I've considered shrinking the hand in the model editor, but I can't figure out how to use it. I also got Maya 2011 but it doesn't support the files the hand uses. Also, I want the light from the lantern to still function properly. Could someone show me how to do it, if it's even possible?

Add an alpha which is purely black to both the hands and lantern.
Alpha:
A grayscale image in .tga format.

Add that using the materialeditor, by opening up your lantern texture/hand texture (make sure to create backups!).

For optimization - create new lantern/hand placeholders with low polycounts - perhaps two planes`?

Good luck :]
