How to make transperant background when rendering in C4D.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my tutorial, "How to make transperant Background when rendering in Cinema 4D".


1 ) First you make your render.


2 ) Go into Render -> Render Settings ( CTRL+B )


3 )

a ) I always saves my renders as .TIFF, cus its the best IMO.

b ) Go into Save, and make sure that the "Alpha Channel" is checked.


4 ) Then close the Render Settings and go into Render -> Render to Picture viewer (Shift+R) And save the render.


5 ) Open photoshop, and open the .TIFF file that you have saved.


6 ) There is actually two ways to do it. I will use this render (Homemade), to show you the differents.



a ) Use the Magic Wand Tool (W).


b ) In your layer menu (F9), theres a tab called "Channels". Hold CTRL down while you pressing at the "Alpha 1". Then you press CTRL+C
to copy it. Then you paste it into a signature etc.

Here can you see the results:


Magic Wand Tool:

Here you can see that the tool have deleted all the black in the picture.


Alpha Channel:

Nothing wrong, just Perfect!



Here some signatures where I've used the render:




And thats it! Hope its are usefull

Thank you that will be very helpful

I always use targa plz tell me why tiff is better ? (cause it aint)

yes, w/ targa you can save it transparent w/ no reason to do alpha channel stuff,
but it is very useful for those pesky good looking renders w/ a background.
good contribution
