Hi,

I've been trying to render an animation with alpha turned on without success. Somehow, when I render just 1 frame of the animation it works no prob but when I start the rendering for the whole animation the images exported are all black or with a black backround, no alpha!
With octane standalone it is so easy to do but for some reason I haven't been able to do it on C4D.

Can anyone explain why is this happening? What I am missing?

Thanks a lot!

Hi stefano86,
after selectin the Alpha channel option in the Kernel settings, like for any render engine in c4d, have you select the alpha option in the save tab of the Render settings, and an image format that support it?
If yes, have you tried to open the file with Photoshop or GIMP to check if the alpha channel is really missing?
