Condescending answers are really annoying. Especially when they are only 1/2 correct.

If you are building a completely new tree clutter object, you're correct.

If you want is the same arrangement but a different look, you just need to change the textures and alpha files for the trees and save them in texsrc.

Well, he wanted leafless. If he changed alpha it would make it leafless. But since the tree is one object, the alphs changing would make the WHOLE tree disappear. That's why I was saying he would have to make a new object. Unless there is some method I don't know of that lets you select a particular object and change it's alpha.

Wrong, by simply editing the texture and changing the alpha file, this is what you come up with using the stock trees in AH. This took me less than 5 minutes and did not involve the OE at all.

I didn't do the all of the trees just the 1 close range view. But here's the original texture....

Here's the new one...

Here's it's alpha...

Remember this, you can work with just the textures without changing object itself.

AAAAH..... cool. I wish I knew where to find that stuff. Cause I cant find any texture bmps. Wait, NEVERMIND. Just found the "Export texture" button. Thanks again. How to I import my work again? Just place the bmp's in my texsrc folder?

Okay, that might help if I get the snow tiles. That way my snow islands will work out nicely. Thanks again
