How do you make a tree in RenX?
I understand how to actually make the template of a tree, its a cylinder with aload of planes sticking out of it. (so my mind tells me Razz

Razz

)

For the leaves of the tree I know it is a texture that has a picture of leaves in a black background.

What exact settings do you use in the Material Editor so that it makes the black background transparent/invisible?

Hope you get what I mean.

Cheers,

Andy.

Oh, and this is for an Xmas map for december.

ok start with a cylinder. bend it around and make it pointed at the top.

Make a texture with branches and leaves, and where you want to to be transparent, make it alpha. then save the tga as 32 bit.

in RenX make a plane, apply that texture, then apply Alpha Blend.

when you say "make Alpha"
is this in Photoshop?
If so, how do you do that?

All the rest of that I understand! Smile

You need the DDS plug-in for photoshop so you can save the alpha channels to work in game as far as I know.

How I make alpha channels , I use the backround eraser in photoshop and do that. It doesn't work though.. I was told to make a new channel and name it alpha 1 then make everything black and save it as DDS. I'm not sure though.

I'd rather actually model the branches.

PS7 does not show Targa files with transparency in the actual alpha channel. It will make a new layer with the alpha white\gray areas erased from the texture map. Saving to Targa does not save alpha channels, either.

It seems only Photoshop 6 does this properly.
