Hi all

In Octane Render, how can i create the leaves/grass transparency? Does i have to use .tga with an alpha channel - like in video games, or use 2 images(a difuse map and transparency black and white map) like in standard renderers?

Currently you have to use a Opacity map for this. .PNG alpha support is on the horizon.
