gurus,
i am trying to put some low poly trees in my scene and was following the intersecting tree tutorial but i dont know how 2 make a map with alpha so followed the maple leaf tutorial…but all i get is a square shadow and no picture on the plane. i have followed each step to its finest detail but no show:(. i have gimp and would be thankful to any of u pointing me in the right direction. as such the maple leaf tutorial also leaves a lot to be desired for us newbies.
thanx again

Check out this tread. I should have a forest blend file you can download and look carefully at all the settings to get rid of the square shadow. You need to use ray traced shadows and not buffered shadows to see the shadow of the image and not the plane.
