Hello to all!
I really need some help!
I hope I'm posting in the right place this is the first time I post here... It might involve more of a rendering problem but I couldn't find a section for that.
So my problem is I'm ready to render all my hard work in maya 6, ( I know I'm not up to date!!). I only want to render the animation and not the background but still need all the lighting and shadows and later put it all together in premier.
I though the Use background shader was gona do the trick!... I'm rendering with mental ray and it still renders a background since when I click on the alpha chanel in the render view it's all white. ( sorry if i'm not using the right terms...)
I've done a few test rendering with maya software and it works perfectly for the same scene I'm having problems with mental ray.
I also notice in my render perimeters ( I think that's the term)... were you enter all the info of your render. there's two box one for RGB... something and the other for alpha chanel... I cannot click any of them, could this be the problem?
Can someone tell me what's wrong or what I'm missing. I have a feeling it's something as stupid as checking a box somewere. Thank you for reading my problem!
Please don"t give a link to a video tutorial since I still have dial up internet connection...
