Hi,

I sometimes need to get quite a few renders out of variations on a concept and GPU render is great for this. I am really missing Custom Alphas tho. I am rendering the main render in GPU and the alphas in CPU up to SL 8-9, which is fine but it is quite a manual process. Are custom alphas going to be added any time soon GPU render or would it be possible to add a custom alpha via CPU feature?

I see possible to add it soon to GPU if we put some limits on it. For example: 4 custom alphas max, each of them 32 objects max, 16 materials max. As GPU work much better with fixed sizes. Would something like that be useful?

Hi Luis,

This would definitely work for the way I use the custom alphas.

Thanks.
