Another newbie's questions
Hi folks,
I am trying out Cheetah3D now with a view to using it to render application icons,
so no big scenes, just a few objects/lights rendering to 512x512 or something like that.
I haven't touched any 3D apps since my university days so I am finding that I am very rusty,
although C3D does look the most inviting 3D app that I have seen.
After playing for a few minutes I have a couple of questions:
Can Cheetah3D save out the images with a transparent background? i.e. If I render an object
placed centrally in the scene, I would like any surrounding background colour to be transparent.
Also, I have been playing with some objects in .3ds format. The objects came with some materials files,
ending in .mat and also some texture and mask .jpg files. When I load the objects into C3D it just loads
the bare object with no texture/material information. Is it possible for C3D to use these files?
Thanks,
Charlie.
