mshihrer Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hello all, sorry if this might have been asked before, I searched for a while, and couldn't find an answer. What I am trying to do is model objects that I want to render into single frame animations. I need the backgrounds to be transparent, or at least one solid color. The goal is to say model a tree or rock outcropping that I could render into a 2d image and paste it as a "billboard" on a plain in DarkBasic Pro. What I have done so far is to eliminate the ground in the chor and eliminate all unnecessary lighting. However, I can't seem to get the background color to a uniform color. If anyone has used AM for gaming apps, any ideas or methods would be greatly appreciated. Edited to add: BTW, I'm using AM ver 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Just delete all models except for the main subject. Then the background will be the camera background color which won't vary. You could probably turn on the alpha option in the render options dialog to make things easier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
