Hi, I'm really new at renderman, and I can't for the life of me figure out how you're supposed to get a alpha texture on a renderman RIS shader. This is for Renderman 19 in maya 2015.

Example: Tree leaves. I'm using geo planes in maya, then adding textures to those planes of the leaves with an alpha channel. Rendering with Renderman gives me black where the alpha is.

Does anyone know how to use alphas in the new Renderman 19.

Thank you very much for your time.

Cheers.

Richard
