Title: Adding 2D PNG with Transparent Background to Corona- Blender Scene
Post by: siadebisi on 2015-01-04, 02:54:43

Hi, i would just like to add a simple 2D PNG File to my Blender Corona Scene. It looks fine (transparent) until i add a material. When i do this it gets a black background which shows in the rendering. Activating Masks like in 3DS Max is not possible and i dont find the right Button for getting the "plane- background" transparent again. Can someone help me with this?

Hi. It's a known bug. Believe it will be fixed in the commercial release. For now, use a b/w image as mask.

Hope it helps

I do backup that... there seems to be a problem with image format that stores alpha channel, not shure if Corona related, more a 3dsmax related issue.
The best image mask in terms of speed and size is GIF format.

Check the forum search, there is an interesting discussion about it.
