Roger Bansemer: Solution for Particle Ilusion
Posted by Graham Bernard on August 11, 2020 at 5:03 amRoger, as that other thread was wandering away from the initial Postee, I thought it polite and respectful to start a NEW Thread for your question concerning pI and its ALPHA.
Do not use the Render setup you used. I reproed your results using your settings and that does NOT give you ALPHA.
I used the QT setting that was offered by Particle Illusion and got success:
What are your thoughts? What is your feedback?

August 11, 2020 at 7:33 pmLooks good. Don’t get upset with me but what settings exactly did you use to give you that transparent checkerboard in your PI render because I think I’ve tried them all with no success.
Was it in the render that you achieved that or in a preference set up in PI?Roger Bansemer – PaintingAndTravel.com

Thank you Roger.

I invited you 4 times to read this thread. I even downloaded pI so I could assist you too. Be thankful I’m persistent with you! – Moving on . . .
[Roger Bansemer] “Was it in the render that you achieved that or in a preference set up in PI?”
This is NOT an either/or scenario – it’s both.
A] Set PI Prefs to match what I’d be going to in VP. Here’s for those Falling Leaves:

B] Here’s the pI render settings I just used for those Leaves:
C] VP Settings to have Floating Point 32 bit:

August 14, 2020 at 12:34 pmHi Graham,
I appreciate the posts. I really do. However even when I use the settings you showed exactly I don’t get the transparency. I think what the person from Boris told me in an email that in order to have it show up that way it has to be purchased.Roger Bansemer – PaintingAndTravel.com

You think, so you aren’t sure? In any event, not being able to demonstrate the value of Pi in a NLE would be crazy! I used the Freebie and got ALPHA. Do a MediaInfo on your Rendered “ALPHA” media and let’s see.
I have contacts at BORIS and I can follow through.

August 14, 2020 at 5:25 pmRoger, are you saying that the Media has no ALPHA because you’re seeing “None” in that field?

August 14, 2020 at 5:34 pmCorrect. It’s been listed at NONE no matter what setting I have render in with PI.
I’ve also changed that field from None to Alpha and nothing happens.
