      when placing 2d .png files in an "always face camera" component, sometimes there is a white border around the image when it is overlapping a similar image in the background. as you can see in my image, the white border is apparent over the tree on the left, but not the one on the right. does anyone know how to control this condition? i want to remove the border for renderings.

        Hi Bigvtapple (and welcome to SCF).

        Open your Styles dialog in the Window menu, go to "In model" (the little house icon) > Edit tab > Face settings and set your transparency quality from faster to medium or nicer (the lowest possible that you already like).

        Note however that this can slow down your computer a bit so I'd suggest to only do this when you want to export something and just leave it at least medium if not faster during modelling.

                Gaieus you are my hero, I was editing png's in photoshop for hours and didn't realize this simple setting.

                Cheers mate!
