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.

Hi beppe,

thank you for your tip, I tested it now but I still get this white bg in the compare here is a screenshot http://prntscr.com/i29ya2 and here is a short video preview https://i.gyazo.com/3077eb0b03b7ba6d0e4 ... 13da25.mp4 I have no HDRI used in this example scene.

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

Hey Aoktar, thank you for the info, hope this feature might be added one day to a future release
