    To railings and dirt on the building:

    [​IMG]


    Diffuse L1 - 512 x 512

    To a railing:
    Your opacity map must be of the same size as your map diffuse.
    The color black represents transparency ingame,
    The rest of the card must be white

    example
    Opacity L1 - 512 x 512

    Lightmap L1 - 256 x 256
    upload_2016-3-16_21-52-49.png
    I personally use the Mental Ray plugin
    >>> Unwrap UVW in channel 2

    Do you need more information?

    you need to invert colors of your opacity map:
    your black areas must be white and your white areas must be black

    Hi mates,

    i followed the tutorial from the basic lightmap max 2012 i made the map (see pic) but if i put it in displacment map my building gets transparant meaning you can see trough my building ??? dont know what i am doing wrong, you can see in the material bol how it reforms it

    check your slots, other maps as well, shaders and all the usual stuff...
    also it could be a viewport error.. is it transparent in cxl viewer too (thats actually the only one that matters)?
