				| Would exporting a TARGA file then editing it in photoshop work? That's how I make my C4D's transparent. Not sure how animation would effect it though. 	  | Viral wrote: |  	  |  	  | CrisNMP wrote: |  	  | Not sure about C4D but with 3DMax you can export transparent pngs when you have an animation.

 You should just add an alpha channel and save as tif or png.

				| Making my first animated one 3D stuffz. So far, the only way I can think of having a transparent BG, is by deleting the black BG in photoshop. Frame by frame. 
 Pretty time consuming, is there an easier way?

 Like in step 4 of my tutorial.
 Save as uncompressed .avi, then import into PS (cs3/4) or imageready.
 
 If you're using PS, open the .avi and use these settings (file>save for web and devices) http://i31.tinypic.com/2lnddhs.jpg
