    The model looks very nice and we already know you can do a good job with textures.
    So very promissing.

    Do you recall the name of the file?
    I like the look of those ones too and the fact that concrete doesn't seem brand new.

    Thanks Peter. I don't think that one is uploaded here.
    Anyway, i got a nice set for US roads between recent Timoft mod and Nogerivan's texture, close to RHM2. So i'm good.
    If anyone can provide a link, that would be great tough.

    Currently work is halted. Don't know how to make Opacity map. Should I make this using 2nd UV channel or apply it to same UVW coordinates as for diffuse map?

    BTW, not all worthy tutorials are migrated here, like: Material Guide, 2nd UV channel nighlighting, VRay lightmap, etc.

    it works like reflection, specular and standard self illuminati, and it mapped to Opacity in max

    If you want transparent parts you need to make them as separate furniture objects/maps and add them as furnitures in you layout file. Refer to furniture specs guide as they dont need all maps, and the size of them is much smaller 256px I think, even smaller if you can fit them into a 128px
    Also in max apply the shader - furniture_transparent_v1 .

    if you dont want to make seperate furniture as per Nicko's suggestion above , you can overlay an opacity map over the entire diffuse, white being fully visible and black the parts you want to be transparent:

    Here is the diffuse from the latest Moscow Pack building:

    Here is the matching overlaid opacity map required to make the railings and lamp posts appear transparent. This technique i can be a massive triangle count saver!

    Thanks for everyone's advices, I was thinking of doing the same way as PJC, but didn't knew if I should have used 1st or 2nd UV channel
