How to use backplates in octane ?

[dancouto]

I am trying to do this and I can't get it to work in the picture viewer. All I get is a black background. I have tried tif and png sequences.

Hi dancouto,
since you have to use a standard c4d material for background, have you chacked if it works with standard c4d render first?
I'm guessing, but maybe there is something wrong in the sequence file naming :rool:

so, um... what happened to this matte option?
Am I stupid or has it moved?

Hi Burgess AK,
quite old discussion, please, have a look at this VisibleBackground Xpresso for a perfect integration with backplates:
