How do you make a background transparent in Painter3d. I have a poser render with a black background. I want to just see the model.

I'm not sure how you do it in Painter3D (it's not a programme I use much). However, in PS, simply create a new image with a transparent b/ground and paste the render in over the top. Use the magic wand to select the background colour and delete it. Then flatten the image. I guess it works something similar in P3D. (For this reason, you should choose some unusual colour for your b/ground. I usually set mine to a (rather startling) "dayglo"-green. This ensures that the b/ground colour is radically different to the rest of the colours so there is no "bleed" when I select it. Also, you need to turn off anti-aliasing for this to work for the very best - otherwise you get strange coloured outlines where the procedure has blended figure edge and background to create a "smooth" line Hope this helps some Paul

If you save the image as a TIF, Poser will include the alpha mask, allowing for simple color-fill/transparency options with a good paint program. Hope this helps. Mike
