does it allow for an alpha channel background?
I'm not dealing with backgrounds just yet. Try loading your background image onto a one-sided square and place it behind your subject. I don't know what happens if there is alpha in the image file. Maybe Lux will respect it. If not, you can attach a transmap of the alpha mask to the square.
(Note: Squares can be resized (X scale, Y scale) to match the aspect ratio of the image you want to use on it, and scaled up big using the master Scale dial.)
Note also that LuxRender will never support a faked background the way Poser does. It only deals with real 3D objects in the scene.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
