JHalton Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I have taken a digital Photo of a tree on a blue background. I have removed its background in PShop. How do I get this to work in Max so It can generate shadows and reflections etc... Cheers Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 you apply the tree image as an opacity map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Matthews Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Use that image that you have created as a diffuse map. Make a copy of the tree in photoshop. Turn the background black, and the tree white. Apply this image to the opacity map. This will allow light to cast shadows on the ground, but at the same time, allow you to see the actual tree. Max and Viz see black as transparent and white as opaque. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
