I am working on a moc scene and everything is coming along nicely(that is once I remembered how to render mpd files so that everything shows up), but I have run into a slight problem.

Hello, These are 2 identical scenes; the only difference is that the *lower* shot has "use LGEO parts" ticked. (I'm using L3PAddon) (URL) prompted, password = "lugnet") The colours shouldn't vary, should they? Gabriel (18 years ago, 23-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

--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 (...)
