  transparent alpha looks dark

  Posted by Mason Gentry on June 6, 2008 at 7:51 pm

  Hi Guys,

  I’ve got a sequence of moving transparent balloons that Im trying to render out and composite in AE. In my C4D file the balloons are in front of a blue background and looks like this:

  

  Then I turn off the blue background and render out the balloon w/ an alpha like so..
  

  But when I pull it into AE it looks darker than it does at stage one. Doesnt matter what the matte color is.
  

  Am I going about this the wrong way? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  Ahhh it seems like I should have messed with the different channels in multi pass rendering. “Material Transparency” seems to give me what I need. Thanks anyway : )
