ALPHA MAP TEXTURE MADNESS!!!
by joel jackson (creative bloc) on Feb 27, 2008 at 12:18:54 am

I need to map a topographic rendering of a state onto an extruded mesh that is shaped like the state.

However, when I bring in my PSD file (with alpha of the state) into the opacity map rollout (so just the state comes in and not the area around it) I cannot get max to see the alpha. I've tried tiff, jpeg, pict, tga, psd and other files and never an alpha!!!The option to select mono channel output is not selectable and image alpha is not selectable under alpha source.

What am I doing wrong that MAX WILL NOT SEE the alphas in my map files???

Help please. It's driving me crazy...

Joel
