Right. Talking to many designers at work, it would appear that Photoshop sucks big-time when it comes to doing anything remotely half decent with PNGs. Maybe they'll think of including it by the time CS-27 comes around? I ended up having to use my home PC's copy of Gimp to sort this all out. Tis goo...

Also, just noticed Fletch, while testing out YOUR PNG, the edges - while at lest not white - turn out a pale green. Would I be right in assuming this is just the reminants of the original colors that surrounded your leaves?

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! THANKS CHRIS!!! (caps off now please..). I LOVE it when people explain something new to me! That's just the thing I was needing to hear. Certainly not something I was aware of til you explained it to me. Now, just for the future, how do I make sure of this in either Photoshop or Gi...

Cheers, and HUGS!

Thanks Chris, Just tried the scene with Lampshade material and point-light. Took 3 times as long per frame to render, and, you're right. Doesn't look all that much better for it. Would you have any thoughts on why the "Face-me" components on the trees i used (just png cut-out files told to...

Thanks Chris! Just took your advice and changed the light spheres to fake emitter (9000) with a 120 degree spot underneath, and changed to Medium plus Object Animation. Just smooth as! Will maybe try point lights rather than the spots to see if I can get a softer light-pooling around the poles. Do y...
