Re: Alpha channel with transparent objects

Re: Alpha channel with transparent objects

I do this regularly in Plasma and Max at work. I render out objects
with windows like cars and planes and composite them in Photoshop or
Flash, depending what I need to do. The underlying image shows
through the glass via the alpla mask, which I use to select the image
and place in a trasparent layer.

Currently I've made a ship's porthole, and I wanted to use it in a
composition that includes redenders from Vue d'Esprit that show
through the glass. Looks like I'll have to fake it in Photoshop if I
use Carrara.
