Render the model on a transparent background

[Userdelete]

Is it possible to implement a model render on a transparent background in hash am?

Of cause... render to a tga or png or exr sequence. You might see blue or something in the background for preview reasons, but there should be an alpha channel in them which should help or if rendering to png just being transparent.

Set your scene up so that everything you don't want in the background is either deleted or has its "Active" property set to OFF

Set your camera background color to something similar to whatever you will be placing your image on top of.

In the render settings try PNG or Targa format first. The format depends on what you plan to do with your image.

In Buffers set Alpha ON

Depending on what software you intend to use your rendered image in, you may need to set "Save with unpremultiplied alpha channel" ON or OFF

The above project renders files like these.  See if these have the transparent background you seek.

TGA version...
