People, trees?

[Nuder]

How are trees or people added to a render using vray? I've read about billboards but there isn't enough info to get someone with zero knowledge started. Can anyone walk me through this? thanks

Re: People, trees?

Billboards are photos textures of people or plants at a flat surface. A transparency map cut out the subject/object. The current VfR dosn't support Rhino material transparency, so you must create a VfR material for each billboard (simple textured diffuse + textured transparency). For the right surface edge ratio use the _pictureframe command.

Try to use the search function of the forum and you should find some more infos/experiments. Also my render tool collection contain a script for billboard allignment. A good source for billboard textures is got3d.com, also some free examples.
