Foliage alpha's creating outlines

TheAxiom

Okay so I'm learning how to make foliage and I have an issue with my leaves.

This is what it looks like when I use "shaded materials with maps", which is what it should look like.



But then when I use "realistic materials with maps" so that I can get the normal map to show up, I lose the padding in my diffuse so it creates a visible outline. Why is it altering my diffuse map? ):



Halp please!

Adding a normal map shouldn't force you to lose the padding in your diffuse map. What tool/3d package/game engine are you using?

I'm pretty sure that's just how the Max's viewport handles alphas.
Try throwing it in a game engine, or somewhere you can control the cutout like Marmoset.

If you are instancing the bitmap node you might get the halo effect. Try this:

Thats because of the white parts in your texture.

Try to make the white parts green too.

Omg thank you Monster! Setting the Alpha Source to None fixed it. Love you and your awesome rat!
For some reason I completely missed the option.
