Applying maps to multiple faces

[antonio_frias]

I'm a newbie at materials in Max, so don't be astonished if my question seems unreal.

I just created a 3d model of a hedge with a couple hundred planes and applied a mesh modifier. I have a bitmap of a leaf and I created an alpha channel. How do I apply the leaf bitmap on the planes (faces after I applied the mesh modifier) and only see my leafs when I render my hedge?

Select the faces and simply apply the map to them. If it doesn't work straight away, you can convert it to an editable poly and do it.

The quickest way to do it would be to apply the map to the object, apply a UVW Map modifier and select the Face Map style. This will apply the map to every single polygon face of the selected object.
