Hi everyone,

is it possible to create renderings with transparent backgrounds and save them as .png file?
If so, how is it done? I cannot find any related option and in the help documentation the topic is not addressed.

Thanks in advance.
BR, Alex

    Hi,

    In order to do that you have to go to Rendering tab -> Environment and in the Background mode
    you have to set it to Infinite Sphere. Make also sure that Ground is disabled (it should be by default).

    Now last step is to Render in Darkroom and from there you have to save using the "PNG Image + Alpha Files" option.

    This will do the trick.

    Regards,
    Antonio

    Hi Antonio,

    thanks for your quick reply and your helpful instructions.

    Actually, the last step was the one that I was not aware of.

    Best regards,
    Alexander
