3DS Max9:VRay Rendering an Alpha Channel?

joeyarkenstat02 · 02-05-2008, 01:26 PM

Hey guys,
Kind of a noob question, but, how do you render a still image with an alpha channel?

I'm doing a render of an interior and I don't want anything outside the windows.

Go to RenderElements & enable VrayAlpha.

You will get 2 images then.

Save them both, then mush 'em together in photoshop.

You can add VrayAlpha in the Render Elements tab of the render dialog.

edit: damn...not quick enough
