Hello all,
I know my question might sound stupid and might have an easy answer but after a day of search in multiple forums I cannot find the answer, leading me to think I must really be blind.
I'm trying to render a droid on a black backgound but for some reason I am unable to find out how to do it... All I have been able to produce so far is what follows:
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance. :)

Change your UI's background color to black and then render. Save to a JPG. If you save to PNG then your going to save it out with a transparent background, which can work as well since you can then take your finished render into a image editing program and add in a layer, fill it with black and there you go (make sure your droid layer is the top most layer and the background layer is the bottom layer )

Thanks for that and that is what I thought I had to do too but... where do I do that. All I found was the customize interface options and these do not affect the main window... :(

Click the triangle button at the right-hand end of the horizontal arm of the camera/view control widget in the corner of the viewport to get the option menu.

theres an optio in Edit on the toolbar of DAZ.
about...60%(?) of the way down is an option that has a sort of cliff-looking thingie, and is called
'edit background'.
just get a black jpeg image and use that for the background.
