Hi!
I should make some animations with transparent background. Is this possible in Poser 7?
Thanks for your advices.
Cheers - Oliver

If you make your animations as a series of .tif image files, to be compiled later in your video editor of choice, then they will take an alpha channel across with them.
Hope this helps,

Yeah, you'd need to render your frames to a format that supports alpha (.tif, .tga, .png) and use the alpha channel to mask out the bg.

HuffyUV is a codec that will give you an alpha channel in an animation.

This thread has Little_Dragon explaining how to configure it when rendering an anim from Poser. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?message_id=714659&ebot_calc_page#message_714659
So you can do it with an animation, but as the guys above say, it's probably better to render to individual frames.
