      See, there is a reason for owning a Mac. πŸ˜‰

      Actually, that is no longer true. I think since they re-built the SU render engine in 7.1, PC has been able to export transparent png's.

        Please elaborate and post some screen shots, Chris...
        Cause I sure can't find this in the option menu...
        I've tried both tif and png - and I don't see any option for selecting transparent background...

        Well, well... thomthom's Export 2d with Alpha can make similar png's for us depending on Windows... πŸ˜›

          Really Frederik, you don't need this much. You may need to mask some glass windows too, transparency doesn't help much there. Try to assign a pure green or magenta instead. Ps can do miracles this way. From a mac user anyway.

            I know, michalis...
            I can make incredible things in post pro with PS for Win... πŸ˜„
            I also know about the work arounds, but if I can avoid them, it would be great...

            Chris F. states that transparent background is possible with SU for Win since ver. 7.1 but I can't find how/where, hence my question to Chris to post some screen shots...

            Well, well... I don't want to hijack this thread... πŸ˜„

              I'd also be curious, Chris. What beta build are you using?

                This is bizarre - is it seriouslly not possible? I swear I've done this a dozen times in the last week. Even wierder is I'm sure it was Gaieus who corrected me last time I said the same thing as Solo. I think I'm experiencing early onset dimentia. I suddenly am unsure of everything.

                I'm on vacation now and I don't have access to SU at the moment. So when I can play with SU, I'll test it. so weird....... πŸ˜•

                  First, there is no checkbox for transparent background at all so I cannot set it. When I export (even with sky and ground turned off), the white background appears, too.

                  I can of course export with transparent background from LayOut.

                    I have ver. 7 Pro, but I haven't upgraded ver. 8 to Pro... 😳
                    Besides, I've never really used LayOut...

                        Looking good, solo! Was most of this model created with the SDS2 sculpt tool? Or did you use your proxy/subdivision workflow?

                          Proxy base, then divide,sculpt,divide,smooth, I know it sounds like a silly workflow but once SDS2 is released most folk will understand.

                                        Yup, it needs work, after seeing that Z-brush version I realise that I need more practice and doubt SU would handle the poly's needed to create such a mesh not to mention the UV mapping thing that SU honestly does absolutely suck at.
