all right ..thanks guys fir the advices

Edson, the couple of examples I posted here were just quickies made from a single png...didn't add a shadow face, sorry. Yes, to the Alan link...if you the "shaded" face style you'll see the shadow face(s) of any of my trees. The other thing you can do is explode the png image (then hide the 4 edges), now it's just a material you can edit the color and transparency...and I'm afraid it's also a bit more bytes. If you really want to get into it you can export the image (right-click menu on a PC...Mac?) and edit it in PS, then import it back into the component (you'll need to change the name of the new png) and erase the original.

IIRC the EXR format works with Photoshop, it's basically a few HDR's mashed together with different amounts of light settings.

Hi Remus! Yes, it is high-poly, i know... And i know it can be painful to work with in huge scenes (like the one i'm working on now, for example... i've been forced to create a layer to contain all the windows of this kind, and then freeze it when not working on... But i modeled this component for rendering purpouses, so i HAD TO -want it or not- keep it very detailed. Sorry again if it's too huge; next time i'll try lo upload a lighter one

Thank you That is helpful.

Thanks Tom, Simple and clean. I have used the actual fixtures on a project before, and they perform well. Bytor
