Hi,
I´m doing my firt GUI Interface with MW and I´m using an alpha + matte material for the main-surface to get a transparent knob.
There is a small dark outer line on the alpha border...
Any idea how to avoid this artefakt?
SL 24 and PNG 16

All the best,
Andre

If you have this trouble while compositing image+alpha channel, you must (using Photoshop):

- load alpha as layer mask on rendered RGB layer
- merge it with rendered RGB layer ("right click on mask icon in window with listed layers > apply layer mask")
- remove black matte (from top menu: "layer > matting > remove black matte")

This will remove the black contour.

Here is an example:


(bigger size is wanted)

The compositing is done within the VST-plugin
Is there a way to render a white matte out of maxwell?
(I´m using GIMP, by the way...)

Thank you for helping!
