ALpha CHannel help..
 

Is there a way to make maya render the image with no background? ive rendered fire for a picture but the glow is giving me a problem getting rif of the black or green backgrounds that ive used. anyone know a way to do this? Is there a way i can save the file to make it so?

Hmmmmm let me think :banghead:



Before render check the option in render globals :Render alpha Chanel

When your render view apears, and the image it's render try saving the image as Tif because not all files can save the alpha channel.

Import the Tif in Adobe Photoshop and after that, go to Chanels Folder, and control click the Alpha chanel, than with your right mouse btn on the layers folder on the image layer select layer via copy and .........

Voila !
You get the whole image rendered butwith out the black background


It's tough to think but fo helping others ......
