lightworks - alpha channel issue

Anonymous

having some issues with rendering a library part with an image map (incl alpha channel)

as you can see from the attached... the alpha appears to be working.... but for some reason i cannot seem to get rid of the grey-ish translucent-ish background

any help would be greatly appreciated

this has been rendered in archiCAD (lightworks)

the alpha channel etc seems to work ok using the internal rendering engine

thanks in advance

weird... all looks great with your rendering

is it possible to copy and paste the gdl from the object that you have used (or attach it so that i can download).... that way i can check it against what i have.... maybe i have screwed something up (though there is not much to screw up here i would have thought)

thanks again for all
