Convert a png render to a prop

mikehoy

Can I convert a png render to use as a prop in my Actors, Wardrobe, Props file?

Probably not,  but there is not enough information on what you are trying to do.

Bartleby

Not convert directly, but you could apply your PNG to a plane to have it show in in your scene as a 'Billboard'.  You could then save the result into your asset library for reuse.

Is that what you are trying to do?

To expand a little on what Bartleby said above... an example of a  "Billboard" might be a leaf or character where the area around the subject is transparent and in the case of certain types, set up to face the camera, so for example one could create a crowd of people in the background, like older video games often did...

Something like this... (this image was intended for different software, but the concept is the same)

 

I think this thread might explain it better... https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/451376/adding-a-transparent-png-to-a-plane

 

If you are looking to generate 3D geometry from a png, I'm afraid DAZ Studio doesn't do that at this point in history.

Ah, billboards. A graphic artist's secret weapon for scene populating!
