vray light material opacity

[YOHKOH]

Hi there

 

is it possible to have a self illuminating material but with an opacity map as you would have in a standard vray material.

 

Essentially i'm trying to texture bake a tree onto a flat plane

 

I've doen it with a standard max material but the self illumination renders washed out.

You do not need it to be self_illum.. just the opacity map does the job.....

Thanks

for the reply

 

i do need it to be self illuminating because i'm rendering an animation and don't want to light the tree. Just apply a texture bake.
