Cad64 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Arjun, there are no vehicles on that site. Red, I don't think you're going to have much luck finding anything free, but if you have photoshop, you can make your own. Just Google the type of cars you want and find a suitable image. Then extract the car from the photo and create your own maps. Or, if you're willing to pay, there are companies like Dosch Design that offer some really nice, high quality content.

Red333 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 arjun - Thanks for the link. There are a lot of nice trees and people images, but I really need some vehicles. Cad64 - I don't have photoshop and I'd rather not pay for them, seeing as I don't use them that much. I need 1 or 2 for a particular project that I'm working on because I need be able to ghost them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Well, if you don't have Photoshop, you could always use Gimp. It's the next best thing to Photoshop, and it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Open the Material Manager and create a new material Place the color texture map, (Tree, People, etc.), in the Diffuse map slot Place the Alpha map, (Black and White image), in the Opacity map slot Adjust the "Scaling & Tiling" appropriately for each map Hit Render to see the result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Excuse me while I get something off my chest . . . Rant Mode On I checked out a few of the trees on that Vyonyx site and found the alpha maps don't fit the color maps. So you will have to do a lot of fiddling with the alpha's in Photoshop to get them to match the color maps. It would be a lot easier to just create new alpha's from the color maps, but these images are not tif's. They're jpg's, so there's no easy way to separate the trees from their backgrounds. So what's the point of providing this type of content if you're not going to provide it in working order, or at least provide it in tif or psd format so we can fix it ourselves??? Rant Mode Off Ok, that's better . . . To answer your question, just create a flat plane and apply your material to it. But good luck getting the opacity map to work. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 see my attachment i have applied on a rectangle ... You need to provide the materials that you've applied to the model in order for me to see what you've done. But if you read my last post, I'm not surprised that you're having problems.
