Still, I seem to have noticed that in LuxBlend, if you happen to hit any other setting than "repeat" for the texture/mask (that is, if you click "clamp", "black"), the effect won't work in LuxRender. Can't find if it's a bug or a bad setting I made somewhere. I'm using LuxBlend 0.6 and LuxRender 0.6 Did you notice the same? Fortunately, it is not too annoying as you'll usually want to render a sinle tree or a single person cutout, so you'll size the plane mesh right in order not to have repeated texture. Hi,

I’m using LuxBlend 0.6 and LuxRender 0.6

Did you notice the same?

To know that you can work with tranparency now, not the world domination plans of course. :) I’m glad to hear that david.

My world domination plan is now complete. Thank you, good sir, I was quite on the verge of losing my mind, trying all the combinations possible to have transparency.
