PNG Transparency

[stuartmitch]

Hi,

hope someone can help me.

I have a basic model of a small building that I am trying to export as a .png image. The model has no background (it will be layered on another image in GIMP).

The problem I have is that, while the background in the .png is transparent, the background as seen through glass windows in the model is shown as black and not transparent.

Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks....Scotty

yes, you must edit the glass material (or materials) that you want to be transparent and check the box "affect alpha".

after you render, any glass with background behind it will be semi transparent, so if you insert a background behind the building, it will show through the glass.
