How do I properly use the alpha channel in 3d max to get par

[Bailey]

There is a problem with layering multiple alpha channels in any 3D rendering program period. I have used many, and am a content creator for one on line site currently. You have to be crafty with your texture maps. You can still get the effect with a solid and one alpha map on top. But yes any render engine will have troubles with two alpha maps on top of each other. hope that helps.

This site is the best resource i have found online

It has help and free plugins for almost every 3D program out there.
