projection and alpha channels in max

mikebart

Ive been pulling my hair out tring to render 'alpha channels' through the 'projection modifier' in 3dsmax8, I need to render diffuse textures from 'high poly models' which have some alpha channeled materials within the 'high poly models'.
any help would be awesome
cheers

You could try rendering the alphas out as diffuse, and using that to mask off whatever you're trying to do in photoshop.

yeah, thats the way ive been doing it so far its a bit of mucking around though you know, it would be great to be able to layer multiple alpha planes onto a model for projection.
thanks man
