--SNIP-- (...) To add to this, make sure you have a neutral background colour set when you do this. The background colour does still have an effect on certain aspects of the rendering (albeit a small one). Tim (18 years ago, 18-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.ray)

Either turn off antialiasing, or switch from chroma-key compositing to transparency-based compositing and make the background transparent. You (...)
