About How to get Alpha of Spectral/metracloud


#1

I have a question:

1)I would like to ask about how can i get the alpha of cloud (Spectral/metracloud) by VUE6.5?

Should i switch some buttons to do that? Because if i can get the alpha of cloud from
VUE, it means i can composite it on MAYA or shake. And now i just can get the still
image after rendering and get the alpha of ball shape of matecloud… Thank you.

Unfortunately metaclouds are seen as part of the background. Technical reasons I learned. So it is not possible to separate those from the background and create separate masks etc. A limitation simply. But not nice for you I guess.

This is as well the reason
why shadow casting is always no and can not be switched off as it is for other objects. I am not sure wether you asked that or someone else. But it is related and therefore I add this here.
