hi there,
you are my last hope.
(i posted in evermotionforums, 3dmax.de and nobody could explain).
i've seen a rendering here ( http://www.chaoticdimension.com/foru...pic.php?t=8387 ) with using xfrog-plants, opacitymaps, vray1.09 and translucency! i asked him about that but he doesn't answer. well, that´s why i am asking here.
the situation:
i imported a plant, composed with xfrog.
well, i've got a leaf-bitmap and the opacity map for that. when i map them in a standard-material everthing works, but I HAVE NO SSS!
however i want this sss. so i tried with vray-materials - but I HAVE NO OPACITY THERE! (except the refraction-slot, which i have to use for translucency. and when i decrease the glossiness, my opacity-map will be smoothed to - and that definetly sucks.
)
i would be very glad if someone could explain me how mario128 handled this. as you can see he used 2materials ( http://www.imageuploader.net/images/772356Kwiat.JPG ) but i dunno what he has done with the second material. i think he was using blend or composite but it doesn´t work (at least i am not able to).
so PLEASE help me, it really bothers me
