Background Transparency of a W3D

OK, I have a program where I need the background of my W3D to
be transparent. When I set the DTS to false to make it transparent,
it lags enough to worry me. So, I thought since my W3D object
contains absolutely no animation, I could just use a bitmap in it's
place and set it's .image (i.e. my_bitmap.image =
member("3DWorld")). Plan is all good and dandy aside from the fact
that once the bitmap is set to the member of the 3D world, the
beckground reappears. I have the image set to background
transparent too...it must be something to do with the export in
studio max. I also know that it is possible because I have one w3d
that when I set the bitmap image too, the background remains
transparent. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi. In my old site you´ll find source code for creating
a backdrop in
the camera so you don´t have to remove the direct to
stage property and
lose performance.

W3D background transparent D12

Hi guys,
have problems with Director 12 to make W3D background transparent on Mac.
W3D object in front of stage, picture in den background.
Disable DTS (Direct To Stage) in the property panel (3D-Model) and change Sprite ink into background transparent.
Works fine on D11.5 but NOT on D12!!!
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

Tested the same with D12 on Windows … worked!
Find next bug:
Exported very simple movie with D12 on Windows as projector.app for Mac.
App was prepared but didn't start!
The same procedure with D11.5 worked.
How can it be???

How do I cut out imported objects and make background transparent?

Illustrator CS3.
I have embedded a jpeg picture which I need to cut out and make the background transparent. How do I do this? An opacity mask? How do I create a mask the same shape as the object I need to cut out? The object needs central pieces cut out too. Please help!

Opacity mask of clipping path are the two ways to do this in Illustrator. Photoshop is the ideal program for this task.

Background Transparency?

Hi all,
I'm working on a game project just now and I'm trying to get
thought bubbles come out of characters' heads. I could do this via
code and drawing a circle at runtime, but I want to be able to
'tart it up' by creating proper nice bubbles using the normal
drawing tools in flash.
The problem I'm having though is that the stage is always
rectangular and I can't see how to make the background transparent.
Meaning that when I load my thoughtBubbles.swf into my main
movie clips, it comes in with ugly white corners and the whole
thing just looks daft!
Can anyone help me here? Surely this problem has to have been
solved a million times?
Cheers,
David

Setting image background transparent

I want to know how can I set the background of an existing images to transparent. I am a web desginer and currently i want's to change background color of one of my site http://twxdroid.com but here the problem arises that some of my used images background won't match up site background, so someone plz tell me how to change existing image background transparent. I heard about using magic wand selection tool or quick selection tool to make transparent but still can't figure out how to use them.

• if the Layer is a Background Layer change it to a regular one by double-clicking it
• make a Selection with whatever Selection Tool is appropriate
• if you selected the background use Select > Inverse to invert the Selection
• Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
• if further corrections are needed paint on the Layer Mask – black to hide, white to show the Layer’s content
• save the layered file as psd, psb or tif
• File > Save for Web … to save a copy a format that fits your needs (png-24 for example)

How can I keep logo background transparent when flattening for web?

Hi, I have a logo designed in Illustrator which I'm bringing into Photoshop to save it for the web. It comes into Photoshop with a transparent background, but when I save it for the web or flatten it, it gets a white background. Can you tell me how to keep the background transparent?

File > save for web (& devices). That will give you the best and smallest web-ready graphics. With save as you're embedding all kinds of info that doesn't need to be in the image. File size can bloat ten-fold quickly. Use save for web.

Making the background transparent in export from cinema 4d to AE CC

I'm using Cinema 4D to create a 3d object and then import it into AE CC. When I import it in, the grey grid in the background is visible. I want to make the background transparent, so that all you can see is the object in AE. How can I do this?

This is not a matter of transparency. You are seeing what you are seeing because you are looking at the draft software rendering result.
Choose Standard (Final) from the Renderer menu in the Cineware effect.

Export and re-import in to project keeping background transparent.

Hi guys...
I have had some joy and some no so joy... maybe I am doing something wrong..
I have been using a smoke emmitter and "flattened" this and re-imported back into project to save ram or to duplicate the layer (for more smoke) and also again save ram. But sometimes the new import has a transparent background layer sometimes it is black. (Always I set all the other layers to not viewable) I have tried using keying to get rid of the black. But possibly there is a setting to keep any export/import back into project background transparent, if in a group above the bottom one. I am using QT animation setting for exports. DVC PRO HD 1080p
Thanks.
Cheers for all this great help... invaluable for neubie..

Set your background to transparent (press apple+J to open the window you need) as it may currently be set to "solid" and render the movie out using Animation, as this preset will support transparency. That should do it.

Title Background Transparency Doesn't Work

Hello,
I can't get the title background transparency to work. I'm running Premiere CS6 6.04. Clicking on the background button does nothing. Sometimes, I can randomly change the background settings to get it to become transparent, but that is not working now. Very frustrating.

This is me setting up a title. The cursor is on the spot on the timeline that has a red christmas background. Everything appears normal.
When I close this window, and move the title onto the timeline this happens. I haven't touched anything else (including the cursor location)

How to turn logo background transparent?

I need to change the logo background transparent so this logo integrates seamlessly on my website instead of looking like a big black box with a logo in it.
Is it possible to remove the black background from every where except behind the lettering?
Here is another similar variation:
I dont mind the white letters, but I would want the green glow to be more apparent like the 1st one.
Ideas?

Is this the look you're going for?
A sample layered psd file with your logo (as pixels; I didn't take the time to redraw it) and Outer Glow layer style, along with several test backgrounds, and the logo itself saved as a .png with transparency can be found here:

How to make a white background Transparent

I would like to to select the blocks and enclosed data to copy and paste in a poster, leaving out the white background. In other words make the white background transparent.
This is just a plain low res jpg.
This seems like it would be pretty easy but not for me. Is there a tutorial that could guide me through this?
Thank you for any guidance you can give me.

I'm probably not being clear about what I'm trying to do. Here's a typical poster. I use the magnetic lasso to select an image, copy and paste it resulting in this.
This time it's to be a team picture with small head shots of each player, action photos in the background, similar to this. I can do all that but I wanted the tournament chart to lay on top of the background with just the boxes and enclosed info showing. I know I can use the magnetic lasso or the poly lasso but I don't have enough patience for that.

Select the white background with Magic Wand tool. Hit Delete. Transparent background is denoted by the checkerboard pattern on your document.

Can we make a video one color background transparent

I am capturing video from Camtasia and would like to make the background transparent, so I could do a quick change for the client.

I have a question which is related to what's been discussed in this thread. Say I want to enhance a datasource (e.g. 0CS_OM_OPA_1) to include data at a finer granularity (e.g. notifications instead of orders). Can this be done by modifying the extract structure and a user exit? Why I'm asking is because records would have to be duplicated. As I'm not an ABAP programmer, I'm interested in knowing whether or not this is possible before I dig any deeper and possibly waist a lot of time for nothing.
Thanks in advance,
Markus

Making the background transparent for a .TIFF?

I have a file with vector shapes and placed bitmap images. I want to export as a .TIFF and have the background transparent. How do you make the background transparent in CS5.5?
Thanks.

As long as your file is not too huge you can also copy it and paste into Photoshop. I often find this quicker than exporting.
You can then save in whatever format you please.
This method also gives you the opportunity to copy/paste your Illy file in parts, thereby producing more layers in Photoshop and giving you the opportunity to add Photoshop layer effects.
Use corner rectangles to ensure registration between layers – just ask if you don't know how to do this.
