Hi
is it possible to create a scene where the rendered items are visible
but the entire empty background becomes transparent, if the output image
is a PNG?

Set Alpha output to on. And IIRC the background should be black.

Yes. Creating a Billboard.
Rapidly, from memory, you need to comment out every object in your scene
(including backgrounds) except the object you want rendered, and render,
adding +ua in order to switch the alpha channel on.
As far as I remember, you may need to check the alpha channel of the png
image in a paint application (I recommend IC for that) after you finish
the render. It might be better to render as tga and later convert to png
if necessary.

Of course. This question has been asked loads of times, probably even by
myself.
TdG recommends:
background { colour srgbt <0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0> }
http://news.povray.org/povray.newusers/thread/%3Cweb.58acb474275844131c311e660%40news.povray.org%3E/
Warp recommends activating alpha in the command line (+ua), and using no
background whatsoever:

Whatever works for you.

Fine everybody just pile on at once.... :|
Here's some advice on making a composite image, if you want shadows and a
transparent background (link to .pov file too :) )

I guess you didn't know the command line parameter +ua (or
Output_Alpha=On in the INI file), did you?

Is that one of those "Plant thy Mandrake when the moon is in Taurus and
waning gibbous.", things? :-P

That.

Those posts date back to the days of v3.6. The handling of transparency
has been overhauled since then, so don't expect that advice to work in v3.7.

Biiiig thanks to everyone here! You all helped me a lot, and my problem
seems to be solved now.
No, I had indeed not know the +ua switch. Never had a need for such. But
I am reconstructing ancient Roman ships, and just their oars I want to
do in render technology. Which brings me to the next problem, how to
recreate one of the Roman-style galley oars. it is too easy just to use
a long cylinder with a flattened (thin-scaled) oval cylinder at the end.
The transition between shaft and brad area was kinda smooth.

Ships like these, in high-res. Some US book publications already showing
parts of my work in the field of maritime archaeology. But I have
something in mind about the oars, that will make them looking even more
realistic.
