Hi there


I'm searching for a way to get a transparent background in the
output file (png). Is that possible without post-processing? Do I
need some patch, or didn't I find the correct parameter?



greets & TIA

Dave

5.2.2.3.1  Output File Type

Output_Alpha=bool Sets alpha output on/off 
+UA Sets alpha output on 
-UA Sets alpha output off

Try this code from Mael
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.scene-files/29569/

It makes transparent background as well as shadow. (Perfect for
post-processing layer work or web-pictures)
