Hi;
I am tryin to create a e plantation in 3ds max and vue7 but the render tymes for even for the smallest renders are taking way too much time coz the ploy count becomes very high. I have heard of this method of using alpha maps but i am not sure how to go through with the process. Please someone assist????

well if you will use alpha maps the tree will look unreal but it will just take just on polygon plane :) so its your choise or render a realistic plant with thousands of polygons or use unreal alpha map and render fast

@ wingman!!! Since I am using Vue i tried experimenting with its .3ds exporter and it generated the bitmaps, alpha maps and bump maps and automatically mapped them so that when i bought them into max I did not have to do anything other than place the vegetation where I wanted it....But this is just the first step am sure when something comes uP i will most definitely need your help.

@multifrag!!!! I tried using opacity mas and diffuyse mas but i hated the result..it looked like a badly cut picture in photoshop...anyway thanks man!!!!

thts much better. just to let you know that VUE, Render cow is more efficent then the any other renders avilable in the market now. it can handel tons of poly and it can render any thing 75% faster then any other render in the town. so as far as importing tree in Max is concern there are sevral issue you will come up wid . but i hope you can solve them by your self.

one of them the is not haveing the true transparncey with the alpha Map. and etc
