  • @varexnet32 thanks, I save the image us png and rgba and it works

  • @VisualDraft after you check the transparent box and render, you should have your object with a transparent background, now you can either export the image with rgba channel (see in the export image settings) and then add whatever bg you want with an external program, or use blender compositor... so you can with example add an 'input -> rgb' and choose white then mix(or alpha over) it with the render layer and connect it to the composite !

  • @varexnet32 Thanks, I tried but the color is black and I want a white background. Any idea?

  • @VisualDraft you have to enable transparent in film in the render settings while you are using Cycles! 

  • Hi BlenderNerd, thanks for the high quality tutorials. You're doing great.

    I need to make the environment image invisible to the camera but still casting light and reflections ? how would you do that ?

  • Very informative and useful!  Thanks!

  • How can I do to render the scene without seeing the hdri envairoment as a background?. I want to use the Hdri only for reflections and ligthing but with a white background color.

  • What was all that HDR stuff about?

    Why did you combine those three images?

  • What country do you come from?

  • I will save it into my playlist and watch this later. Cycles looks just awesome. Thanks for making this tutorial. ;)
