    It used to be in Reality 2.*, and suspect it will be in Reality 4 - it was a checkbox mentioning 'alpha'. I'm not on my 'reality' machine at the moment, but will check and respond a bit later (in case no one else has given the definitive answer by then).

    There is a 'Transparent BG' tickable box in the Render tab in Reality 4.

    It is not ticked by default.

    this can be done in the LuxRender interface as well if you a) forget to check the box, or b) use something other than Reality

    I know this is kind of an old thread but I just updated my Reality plug in from 2 to 4 and it's doing something odd. Whenever I check 'transparent background' the sun light goes super over exposed. I'm not sure why it's doing this. It renders fine if the background is left as that blush sky settings.

     

    Anyone got any idea of what's going on?

     

    Thanks.

    and you have one light source defined as "sun" and no sky-dome or enclosing mesh around the scene?
    If so how are you adding that sun light? Are you using a saved prop or creating a new distance light and naming it "sun"?
    Does this happen in one specific scene or anything you make?
    Have you deleted the sunlight and created a new one?
    Did you jump the gun and install LuxRender 1.5? It's not compatible with R4, it will be included with R4.1 when it comes out Monday.

    See the enclosed screen shot, for outdoor scenes setting the exposure up as I have is what I'm told is a standard pracice of outdoor photographers.

    Hi Stratdragon!

     

    I was using just one Reality Sun light for the scene. I haven't tested it out with any other objects aside my hivewire horse. There was no sky dome or enclosed mesh. Just the horse model.  Nope it's not the 1.5 it's just the 1.3. I tried the one with Open CL then deleted it, and tried the one without and it didn't make a difference. I haven't played with the  camera settings but I'll give that a try and see if it helps. Thanks!

    That helped a ton! I'm not getting the same over exposer. Woot. :D
