Alpha messing up

Aaron2004 · July 11th, 2007

Hello all,

I have attached an image of one of my renderings in photoshop, after I select the alpha. For some reason, it is totally ignoring the left most house. I can't imagine what I could have done that would have caused this.

I rendered out of VRAY to .vrimg file, and saved it as an .EXR.

Thanks!

Aaron

Is the house a group? If so, select it and right click and look at the vray settings. It should have an alpha contribution of 1.0 (not -1.0) and theres a couple of other alpha settings in there. It should not have matte ticked. Cant remember the others off the top of my head, but those are the two most obvious.

Sorry for the late reply..nope..it's not grouped. However, it's an easy enough work around and I'll just chalk it up for now to 'Really weird bug'.

Thanks!
