Outlander Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Anyone know how to make 3D plants (specifically trees) to render with a transparency? I'm using XFrog photorealistic image props. Thought I could do it by just changing the opacity in object info, but that didn't work (doesn't seem to work for any renderworks textures either). Then thought I could adjust the transparency setting in the image prop, but it has to be set to image mask to display properly. Attached is an example of the graphic look I'm trying to achieve with my trees. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 In my experience the only way to get what you're after it is to a) add the trees to your annotations, as 2d images, with opacity reduced, or b) add the trees in PhotoShop or sim. Of course this means having a special set of trees for each 2d view... Quote Link to comment
