Title: texture mapping Ivy leaves?
Post by: hugo on October 19, 2014, 11:44:15 AM
I'm sure this is not the first time this issue has been raise, and searching did not turn up any results. :-[

What do I do in KS to render the ivy leaves correctly from Ivy grower ?

TIA!

use the "UV" mapping setting. you may have to set the X and Y coords to 0.5

Make sure you check "Use Diffuse Map Alpha" which will clip the geometry based off the color texture alpha channel. This should give you the effect you're looking for as long as the leaf texture has the alpha channel in place.
