Davidm Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I downloaded some 2D tree images contained in an MCD file I found on Vector Depot.( Arbres.mcd ). I want to bring them into my 3D elevation workspace and rotate them as flat thin 3D objects. Since these are just images I cannot rotate them with all of the other 3D objects. Neither can I extrude them. And when I texture map a tree onto a 3D object , the tree now has a white background, where before the original trees were self matting. How can I make the trees into objects, flat thin objects, that can be rotated somewhat and also get rid of the white background around the tree ? Quote Link to comment
