New Tree Branch Material - Texture A | |
|
In this texture, the color information is coming from the overall texture instead of from the component driving the leafy qualities. I did this because I wanted the leaf transparency component to show alpha information only, that way it was easier to see the black and white. | |

'Random Discreet' is the only noise I've tried for leaves so far. The texture should have small white shapes on a black background. Part of that comes from the noise, but another important trick in making the alpha information strictly black and white is by using a filter. |

Again I've used the Quantize filter, but this time with the c parameter set to 1 instead of 0. Think of the Quantize filter like 'posterize' in photoshop and the value for c as the number of transitions you get. A c value of 2 would result in a transition from black to middle grey and a transition from middle grey to white. But don't use any grey values in the alpha channel for texture A because that will result in translucent leaves interspersed with solid ones. |
