Hi, everybody! I was trying to use a tree model from XFROG 3 imported in Vue as an .obj file. The trouble comes when I try to "dress" it with existing Vue leaves! Results are pretty frustrating: I keep getting strange blueish holes among the foliage. I tried to modify the scale of the material but it won't work this much. Bare trees from XFROG work perfectly instead! Can someone help me? Happy New Year!! :) Badan P.S. Thank you all, guys! I've been learning a bunch from your Q&A stuff!

heyas; that's one of the mysteries of vue. vue can only do six levels of transparency. after that, it kicks in the 'murky' colour in the transparency of the material (usually that blue). when you create trees/plants and stack them, it doesn't seem to happen. but if you use the same plant leaf materials, it does. btw, they told me that vue 4 would do away with the 6 layer transparency limit. (i think.... who remembers what they said about that?)
