First off, it’s great to see rendering in Shapr, thanks so much for implementing it! Great work so far! I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Real quick, unless I’m doing something wrong, I just noticed that the transparent background environment when exported, isn’t transparent, but a full screenshot with the transparency checkers included.

Just wanted to get the things I’m finding into the forum so I don’t forget.

Thanks again!

I had this issue too (in the beta version) but it was resolved in the live version. You might need to check you’re fully updated.
