  • Changing background color on Bat Particle Emitter

    Posted by Amber Creed on September 26, 2013 at 3:12 pm

    Is there any way to get rid of the white background on the Bat Particle Emitter… I’ve been looking at the settings and have yet to find anything that could make that happen. I’d like the bats to be on a transparent background…

    Thanks!

    Oh. Using Apple Motion 5.

    The white background is only there for the icon in the library.

    Adding the emitter to your project you should be seeing blacks bats with an alpha channel, i.e. no background colour at all.

    Here it is with the viewer set to show Alpha – the white is the black bats and the black is transparent:

    Is that not what you’re getting?

    Just got it working. Before it had inserted the white background but now it’s not. Thanks!
