Hi,
I try to have "transparent" background for one image. In accordance with
the documentation, i check the "Add Alpha Channel" in output options.
The file type is png. I had already used this option with the previous
versions without any problem. It even seems to me that in the image
window, a button could raise the transparency (the grey/white checkerboard).
This feature seems no longer exist.
Error on my part or forgotten option ?
My config :
Povray 3.8.0-alpha.10013324.unofficial
Mac OS X 10.10.5 (14F2511) - Yosemite.
Note : work with MacMegaPov v1.2.1 r3 (Universal)
Display windows is empty, but pgn file is OK.
Regards

The preview display does not have the checkerboard anymore, and does not
display the alpha channel. But the generated png file should be ok.
From my (old) memory, for png with alpha, +UA on the command line AND
something about "background" in the scene (NO background at all).
Also, that's where sky_sphere might be a problem : it's a background too.
Ok, you will get alpha with background/sky_sphere as long as you have
some transmit or filter part in the colour of background/sky_sphere.
And +UA.

It is still there:
Turn on "Add Alpha Channel" in the "image & Quality" panel on the
preferences panel.
And use this simple example scene:
camera {
perspective
location < 0.0, 0.0, -5>
right x * 1
up y * 3/4
angle 60
look_at < 0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
}
light_source {
< 0.0, 100, 100>
rgb <1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000> * 1.0
}
sky_sphere {
pigment {
rgbt <0.016749, 0.198007, 0.999977, 1.000000>
}
}
sphere {
<0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, 0.5
pigment {
rgb <0.500000, 1.0, 1.0>
}
}

Looking at your example, I found the guilty !
The sky_sphere pigment has transmit attribute...
background { color <0,0,0> }
=> no alpha channel
background { color <0,0,0> transmit 1 }
=> alpha channel OK !
*transmit* is a key
I don't remember needing to add this in the old versions.

Right - but if you created an object with transmit 1, then you wouldn't even see
it at all. So your background with "transmit 1" is invisible - so why even have
it?
Just delete / comment out those lines.
If background and sky_sphere can be overwritten with new values, it might be
useful to pop a little macro into a newbie include file that will be the last
line in the .pov file. Then background and sky_sphere can be overwritten with
clear textures a s a quick diagnostic / fix, and as a reminder to those who
haven't used it in a long time...
include "newuser.inc"
transparent_background ()
