Help needed to create a lake on top of photoscenery
Posted: Wed May 17, 2017 6:15 pm
Dear friends,
I am building the photo-scenery of Cyprus with the use of the virtual earth plugin.
I have create all the island plus the coastlines with success. About the coastlines i turned the bmp file to tiff and i have make all the land white and all the sea black and i have saved this with as "name of the file_B".tiff.
The result is perfect. Now the problem begins. Cyprus has some lakes i tried to create them. I used the corresponding .bmp's and then i paint the lake black and the land white and then i saved this as "name of the file_W".tiff. I recompiled the scenery and the result is a fine land but with a full transparent lake sawing the default scenery. What i am doing wrong? can someone please help me with an example? Many thanks in advance.
