Alpha Channel doesn´t work

Hey guys,

maybe someone could help me with an alpha channel problem (sorry if thit topic is already solved in another thread, link appreciated):
I created a scene with an obj, 2 lights and a studio-area (sphere, flat surface, e.g. as studio background). To render the scene I use an alpha tag in the Corona Multipass settings.
When i render everything without the studio-area, everything works well. I get a perfect alpha channel in the resulting psd-files.

The problem occurs, when i switch on the studio background. The alpha channel is white due to the fact that corona combines the obj and the studio. How can i select only the obj for the alpha tag in the multipass settings? What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks for your help or any hint for a solution.

Looks like there is an issue here indeed. Even when setting “alpha mode” in advanced material settings to “always black” it is still rendering as white. Moving to bugs.

Actually, the values for “black” and “white” were swapped. The fix should appear in one of the following builds

Hi Reublack,

it should be already fixed in the latest build [https://forum.corona-renderer.com/ Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D Beta 1 Release Candidate #msg119472](https://forum.corona-renderer.com/ Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D Beta 1 Release Candidate #msg119472), can you please confirm it?

seems fine on my side (w7, R18)

Still have some issues with that :(. Any ideas?

To get the solution, do describe your issues in detail.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! :wink:

:wink: ok thought that the stream tells enough. When I create scene, for example a background studio wall and an object, I cant geht an alpha pass out of the render.
Ich checked the alpha mask in the multipass settings. but the final mask is completly white. So, how can I get the studio wall ignored by the engine?
Can I assign a ID for the wall or the object?

Is this what you’re after?

Found out how it works. But thanks for your help guys anyway. In the new version of corona, it is very easy to handle it.
