Anyone know why a lot of the leaves are rendering black?  And what's wrong with the ones I've circled?  It looks like some kind of transmap problem, but I've double checked and the transmaps are applied correctly.  And why is it only happening with some of them?

 

i haven't got the program out to play with yet, but based on prevous experience with other products....

some are renderd black because your normals are facing the other direction (where no light is comming from). solution: go to the materials and check the "normals_forward".

the ones you have circled look as though there is a specular setting. if there is nothing plugged into specular color then plug your trans map image into it. if there is something plugged in there use a blender to add the trans map image to it so that it is black around the leaf.
