Thanks Mark, I was successful to a point. The alpha channel for the texture map worked well, but the movie texture map did not. I used the same map (movie) and inverted the color. It worked, but since the movie colors of the leaves were green, they became semi-transperent... A possible work-around: Record two movies, one with textures ( leaves ) and one with leaves textured in white? Keep all motion setting same but change so I have a black background and white leaves? Any other ideas? Thanks for your help. What does HTH stand for? Highland Tech. High? R.
