C4D and Alpha

[Flamingo]

Hello,
is there a reason, that I do not see alpha channel and transparency on my desktop?
Transparency looks black and the alpha I do not see at all.
This is not good, because I do want to edit. Especially the alpha cannel.
I see it first, when I render the sene.
Is there something I do not know?

Regards
F

What I often do is copy the alpha map in your diffuse slot, so you can see it in the viewport.
When you've finished to adjust it, just remove it and put your diffuse map in the diffuse slot.
Or I move it while looking at the IR.

You are right, but this is not very convenient. Transparency is also a problem, because in my viewport it is always black. It is anoing, always switching between materials, or running the IR, just to see what is going on. What is the viewport for?
Corona should solve this problem in the future releases. I do hope so.
