Looks like there is a problem with the alpha channel.
If you have a transparent object in the foreground, it still render the alpha as if there's no objects behind.

I'll upload a sample later...

It's known, hopefully it will be fixed soon
One other thing, object set to unseen by camera placed inside a transparent object is visible.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

Actually, I'd been using the alpha "bug" to my advantage it to mask out the background without affecting foreground transparent objects. Now I'm using OB4 I can't do that any more...

Any chance we can have an option for foreground transparency to be ignored on the alpha channel, just as it was in the "buggy" OB3?

HI there I am new to kray. I usually render views out of an interior window on an alpha channel as a 32-bit png and then add the backdrop in behind the glass in photoshop. Can I still do this with kray? If so how?

You can have it make you a separate file with the alpha and then comp-it later. So, yes.

good to know, so could you tell me how?

Add needbuffers -1; to header commands and it will try save all available buffers. The resulting buffers are kind of buggy though, that's why it's undocumented and not included in the GUI yet.

And I think needbuffers 3; exports only the alpha.
