Hi We're offering free tree and foliage textures in support of our "Get Painter 5.5 Free with Jungle 3D" promotion. These textures show how Jungle 3D can add highly realistic plants and foliage to 3D scenes and architectural renderings. The tree textures are used on the site and referenced in our Painter and Paint Shop Pro tutorials. The foliage textures are designed for mapping to actual terrain models so see the referenced landscape examples. All of the textures have antialiased alpha channel masks for transparency mapping. We've also made one of the new tubes/nozzles available for download. Since Carrara looks for a separate mask file, you'll need split and save the mask channel as a separate B&W file using Photoshop or some other image editor. Once you have two files (image/mask), you can map with transparency using Multi Channel in Top Shader and Multiply in Color. Choose Texture Map for Source 1 & Source 2 in Color. Load the tree image in 1 and the mask image in 2. Then load the same mask image in Transparancy and select Invert Color. We'll be pulling the files once the promotion is over so don't wait too long in you're interested. Use the "Get Painter 5.5 Free" link or the "Free Textures" link on the front page. Have fun.
