I'm sure you can "unhide" it from one of the .mi files but I'd have to look for it.Ramy Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676633006416915737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507781040981315140.post-45299646347630281112010-07-12T13:30:08.425-05:002010-07-12T13:30:08.425-05:00In 3d max 2011 the Two-Side base doesn't exist...In 3d max 2011 the Two-Side base doesn't exist! how can I do a 2-sided material?YURShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055759859533422808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507781040981315140.post-48138788478399608202010-02-22T12:24:56.747-06:002010-02-22T12:24:56.747-06:00In the .max file you do not include an opacity map...In the .max file you do not include an opacity map, only the 2-sided material and checker material. I do appreciate the push in the right direction, but I can't figure out at all, how to get the opacity to work with my image. <br /><br />What ends up happening is the minute I turn on the translucency, the opacity map is ignored, and the entire plane turns to the translucent colour. If you could explain, or include a .max file that has the leaf image, that would be awesome!!!!<br /><br />-Adam D.<br />liquidmotive@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507781040981315140.post-21362159581966331972010-02-16T09:08:46.772-06:002010-02-16T09:08:46.772-06:00Ramy,

I tried it last night with a copy of the original tif, cut out with it's alpha channel / converted to greyscale and then added a black background.<br /><br />The fg pass was it's usual amount of time but when rendering as soon as it hit the tree it grounded to a halt and was taking forever.<br /><br />I guess transulcency is a big chunk of time and as my image is a dusk shot I'm going to skip it. I'll try it again on a daylight scene and see if it renders faster.patrick andersonhttp://www.siliconbauhaus.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507781040981315140.post-60625530308974081262010-02-15T20:28:13.412-06:002010-02-15T20:28:13.412-06:00Good question.

So the only thing that is grey or white is the part of the leaf that I want to glow.Ramy Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676633006416915737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507781040981315140.post-30696461854114229872010-02-15T18:53:50.041-06:002010-02-15T18:53:50.041-06:00Ramy,

Did you cut out the leaf and then greyscale it and put a white or black background on it or did you simply greyscale the original bitmap? I'm using xfrog trees so my main map is a green background tif.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Patrickpatrick andersonhttp://www.siliconbauhaus.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507781040981315140.post-28856258092141908392009-09-10T20:43:43.998-05:002009-09-10T20:43:43.998-05:00thank you so much!!thank you so much!!David Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817778283310964653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507781040981315140.post-11804332009912307692008-09-27T17:01:00.000-05:002008-09-27T17:01:00.000-05:00Oh, I was asking because it is very similar to spe...Oh, I was asking because it is very similar to speedtree.<BR/>Great work!
