Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 24 8:11 pm)
You are mistaken - that doesn't happen with JPG.
And if you'd actually put a prop in your scene for the background, it would never happen even for PNG or TIF.
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)
Correct, it doesn't happen with .jpg.
Do you mean instead of just importing a picture for the background I instead use the Material Room to place it in on a one-sided square and use that as the background? That makes sense.
It's all coming back to me now.

If you export the rendered image to a format that supports alpha channels (like PNG or TIFF), your background image will still be present in the file. Most image editing/viewing software will mask it out according to the alpha channel though. If you remove the mask it it will show. If you don't want that flexibility for compositing then bagginsbill's method is the way to go.

I hate to have to ask a newbie-sounding question after being here for so many years (and have the answer be something simple that I should have known or remembered), but what setting am I missing that causes Poser Pro 2012 to render my backgrounds transparent? I have tried "Render Over Background Picture" and "Render Over Background Shader" (with an image map in the node) and exporting in .png, .jpg and .tif formats, and my background, which I can see correctly rendered within the Poser program environment, never shows up in the exported image (they become a transparent layer).
(I last worked in Poser several years ago - version 5 - and just recently got back into it with Poser Pro 2012.)
