Blender – Transparent Texture Rendered as Black

3dblenderpngrenderingtransparency

I'm trying to render a scene with transparent png. The scene is actually imported from a .obj file (with another .mtl file), which should technically applies the transparency for me.

^ It does shows transparency in the viewport.

^However, in the rendered result it shows a black background instead of transparent background.


I have no idea why, and the alpha value is already at 1.000. Any idea?

I'm using Blender 2.67, Blender Render. (not Cycles)

If you need a transparent background, in Render tab you need to change:

  • Shading -> Alpha -> Transparent
  • Output -> RGBA

background transparency

If you need a transparent texture, you must activate transparency in the material and lower Alpha value (Alpha=0 is fully transparent).

For example:

material transparency
