an alpha map which is refered in formz is invisible when rendering with maxwell.v2 !!!

anyone else with this problem ?

Maxwell does not read alpha maps from FZ. You have to have a "separate" black and white map used where the alpha map is loaded.

BTW, a new feature in V2 is the use of alpha maps in the Maxwell editor.

yes, the new alphamap feature in v2 is very nice.

but i did use an black/white map in the formz material setting, as you have described... and maxwell v2 renders it invisible. in v 1.7, this was working without problems. i can remember this problem in earlier versions...

i have a lot of plants in my scenes which have not refered an extra maxwell material, only the alpha map in formz ....

You know, I have noticed the same issue. I just did a test of a map with a transparency map and Maxwell 2 rendered it completely invisible. Will report to Maxwell.
