Regarding Opacity Mapped leaves or 3d modeled leaves

[nildoe]

Hello All,

I have a question i'd like your experiences on.. I know that on renderers like Mray or vray and such (cpu based) the recomendation is to use Modeled tree leaves whenever possible because they don't handle opacity very well ( as in slowww) , but according to my tests in Octane it seems that it doesn't make much difference what i use, do u also feel the same way?

I personally would rather use Modeled Tree Leaves because on viewport Octane does not seem to support opacity.

But at the same time now that we have instances, it makes wonder whether i should use opacity or modeled leaves.

what d you guys prefer to use and why?

hm, do you mean opacity doesn't work in Octane viewport?

Hi Karba,

No, no..im sorry i should have been more clear, i meant the Max viewport, not Octane Viewport, in Oct View all is fine.
