Subject: how do i render cartoon animations with transparent backgrounds in poser4?
Not with JPEGs. The format doesn't support transparency, and if you tried to 'magic wand' (in Photoshop) the background white, you will find a very harsh edge of antialiasing that you can't remove! (I just love a sloppy standard, don't you?) Try TIFs or GIFs instead. (Of course I am Poser ignorant, so excuse me if Poser can't output that way.) :>
actually it can render tiffs but those give me a white background as well. i'm wondering if there is a setting in poser 4 that i'm missing which will give me the option to render transparent backgrounds. i could go through each frame one by one and select them and delete the background in photoshop but that would take for-EVER.
Is there an option for a "Mask", "Alpha Mask", or "Alpha Channel"? The TIF format supports alpha channels, and they allow for selecting the foreground and masking the background, i.e. your white background. As I mentioned before I don't have Poser to give you an accurate answer to your question, but this is how it is done with other programs. Good luck! :>
The png format exports with no BG 8^)

is there a way to do this. basically i want to render the background first. then render the people in the forground as a series of jpegs. when i render the people the background in the jpegs is just white. is there any way to make poser 4 render this series of pictures with transparent backgrounds so when i combine the fore and backgrounds only the people will be visible and not the white background.
