Hello Im new here and I dont know if any of you have posted anything about this (please guide me to it if so)

I have various tifs jpgs bmps of everyday objects (such as plates, decoratives, household stuff) and I would like to insert them as 3d obgects but without frames.

Example. I want to have a 3d image of a table with plates on it. I have the tifs of the plates but i dont want the tifs background colors to end on the table as well (happens when i use the carpet tool (square when plates are round))

Object "Parapicture" In GDL Object Depository under folder "01 General" will help you.

You will mask the backgrounds of your images to make them transparent.
