Hey, when I want to compare renders in c4d octane live-viewer and have alpha channel active in the octane settings, I always get this white bg in the compare please let me know how to disable it I tried really everything hopes someone here knows how to get rid of the white bg in a compare when alpha channel is enabled in the octane settings. This is making comparing before and after really difficult.
Thanks in advance.

hi nexusdesigns,
if you leave the Keep Environment option active, the HDRI image used is displayed, so in your case, you see black in one direction and white in the opposite.

Because plugin is not capable to draw alpha pixels for second buffer. I know the issue.
