First of all, the plane was created and later was used as a background. Then, the shape of a leaf was made and the pattern which is on the left was added to it.

Later the same picture of the leaf was opened in photoshop and changed to black and white. After that was done, it was imported to 3ds max as bitmap to the same 1st default and applied to created shape. Pressing F9 it is easy to see how it looks.

These are some patterns imported to the program which I was trying as a background.
