Hi, I'm just checking to see if this is a known issue or if it belongs in the "bug reports" section. I'm using the latest demo of Moho.
I have a character contructed out of seperate PNG files with a bright pink as my transparency colour (the character himself is black and white ink style). In any image editor and in the Moho viewport the transparency is correct but when I render I get a slight outline of the transparency colour all around the transparent object. I've tried changing the transparency colour but the problem still persists.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about - the effect is quite pronounced around the eyes area, but effects the entire character:

Has anyone encountered anything like this when using PNG transparencies? I tried a search on the forums but found nothing concrete.
Thanks for any help or advice.

With proper transparency that shouldn't be an issue.stephklein wrote:I think the brush you used in photoshop (or whatever) is too soft.
If you have a colour in the bottom instead of transparency you get the semi transparent areas (the anti-aliased edge) blended with the background colour instead of a being semi transparent as they should. I think that is what you see in Necrotics illustration.
Yup, that's exactly what it was.
As a force of habit (coming from the games industry) I was keying a transparency colour when I should have just left the background empty. As soon as I deleted the keying everything rendered fine. Arggh, now I have to go export all of those character pieces again
Thanks for the assistance!
