Here is another trans map and bump map reference guide. The "mask" (shown above - left) has all the grey values from 0 to 255. It was used for both the bump map reference and the transmap reference guides. The background picture (shown above - right) was used for the transmap reference guide. The transmap was applied to the standard Poser prop "square" and rendered using the front camera. The bumpmap reference guide had the map applied to the Poser ground plane and was rendered from the top camera. A single white light was used and had an elevation of about 45 degrees. The light was positioned to come from the lower right corner.

Only thing I would have done different would be to use 255,255,255 as the base colour for the bump vs. the lite gray.

This render uses black letters on a white background. (positive background picture) NO lights TransMin = 0% TransMax = 100% Falloff = 0.00 Left grid = 255 .............. Right grid = 0
