<p>The alpha mask is just a gray scale image like the other (color) channels. It can be edited in your bitmap editor just like the other channels. You may need to search a little bit toil figure out how to do it. It probably contains intermediate values already at the edges, but may require further blurring to look better.</p>

<p>Roy,</p>
<p>I tried to figure it out, it seems to work more or less... The only point to clarify is how to achieve intermediate alpha channel?</p>

<p>Alpha masking is almost always the right approach. The decal will need to be tagged as double-sided for the shadows to work properly. You'll need to do some editing of the decal in photoshop or eq. to get a better result in terms of the halo. The color of the alpha masked area, at least in the vicinity of the tree boundary, should probably be changed to a green which is similar to the tree itself. A blending tool may need to be used between the masked pixel and the tree edge to create…</p>

<p><br/>ok, my mistake. These are just nXt decals. I called them "RPC", didn't realize that's the specific product name. </p>
<p>However, is it possible to solve this issue using just nXt and AutoCAD tools?</p>
