Realistic Leaves, Use of Alpha in Octane Live Render

[buzby]

I am trying to get the palm leaves here to look right. I am sure I overlooked somethingI can get it right in C4d but it does not render right in Octane. Any ideas?

use Octane material, put imagetexture to opacity with alpha image or white/black images for opacity. Tou use alpha of image, you may change mode of imagetexture to alpha

Sorry I am not seeing it. I tried setting the texture to Alpha but you can see the leaves do not show up.

for best result don't use images directly but load the octane "image-texture" node first, in the lower field you could specify the type like image (rgb), float (grayscale) and alpha (if the image has one)

Thanks beppe

sorry what is the path to "load the octane "image-texture" node"? I dont see it in the materials menu

think at octane nodes like c4d shaders, so if you click the arrow near the texture field, go to c4doctane/imagetexture
here you can find all the octane nodes like turbulance and so on.

I can get this result by putting the black and white jpg in the opacity. but I am not getting the green color

This is proper usage for alpha png image, regards

Not sure why mine are not the same. My leaves are barely visible on the trees. I tried both of these

octane material has limited opengl previews. Has not transparency
you miss activate mode to ALPHA
