How to set a cutout image?

[SamuraiX]

Hi! I'm a new member. I used Acad 2009 way back and just used Acad 2011 recently and I'm having trouble with the changes.

 

I can't figure out how to set a cutout image in Acad 2011, in a regioned rectangle and render it without seeing the rectangle and the background color, only the cutout image e.g tree,person.

 

Thanks for your help..

I assume that you are referring to the "opacity map" option in the materials flag.

It should be there in ACAD2011 too, as it was in the earlier versions... :/

I think you are looking for something like this: http://cad-notes.com/2011/04/autocad-rendering-tip-using-cutouts-map-for-removing-materials/

Yes, it's still there. But you need to create a new generic material to have that option.

Thanks now I got it. I think my mistake was editing the two image in photoshop, and putting them wrong in the new material.

 

But I have another problem, when I render the cutout image alone, its perfect. But when i put the cutout image(e.g tree) beside my house model and render with it, the tree isnt in the render. Its invisible? I only see the house. what could be the problem?
