Bamboo Hut Roof Texture

[arnoldt]

Ok so I was watching the bamboo hut tutorial, and I have a question about the roof texture. Did you make that with filter forge?? If so can you give me brief rundown on how you did it. I looked through the filters on filter forge site and did not see one like that. The only one I found was a single leaf. Thanks

I created palm leaf in Filterforge, saved image and alpha map. Imported in Photoshop and combine them in there, i think i have it was in tutorial. I can record other one just to show how to create textures.

Thats what I was thinking. I just was not sure if you could do that in filterforge or not. I should be able handle it without a tutorial. I am pretty good with photoshop. Unless you want to make one for everyone else. It could be handy. How do you save the image in filterforge without that background picture?

[vovka]

Save as PNG with transparent background.
Vue work well with that format.

[arnoldt]

That makes sense. The one format I did not try was PNG. Thanks

[arnoldt]

When I save it as a png with transparency It still shows up with a white background. Any ideas?

In your editor you have the option to invert image/reverse, when you do the white will be transparent.

Alright, I think I am making this to hard. I know there has to be something I am missing.

1. I open filter forge
2. Load ferninator filter
3. Save as png with transparency
4. Load png in photoshop
5. Leaf is flattened on a white background

Could not find the invert image/reverse thing.

I am sorry, I meant in Vue.

[arnoldt]

ok, I was hoping to be able to do it in FF, so that I can have just use the image in photoshop.

A bamboo hut roofing is not really a smart one it his place. Sometimes you should at leased do something in my ride. They are really smart for inventing such models.
