So, how do I do it?

Requirements

Gimp, Photoshop, or any editing software that has access to the channels tab.

So, how do I do it?

You will need to render it two times. The normal render, and a render with no lights and a white greenscreen background.

So open up your editing software. I am using gimp. Open the first render, and import the second render as a seperate layer, and make sure it's the top layer.

Go into your channels tab, right click any of the channels and click channel to selection.

Go back to layers, and delete the 2nd render. Now add a layer mask to the 1st render, and click selection.

The character will probably be the only thing transparent, but don't worry. Just select the layer mask, go to colors tab and hit invert.

There you go! Now you have a transparent render of your character.

@pussy rips did you try freezing the particle system so the particles don't change when you switch maps?

to do it in SAI2, do the same 2 renders method mentioned here, and in SAI2, select the silhouette of the thing you want to render in the second render, invert the selection, switch to the first render (this is done by having the first render in another layer) and then deleting the stuff in your selection, and you can then remove the second render from your image, and you now have a transparent image

This is the best method of creating transparent PNGs of SFM renders.

Reminds me of how they did the chroma keying of ship models for Empire Strikes Back.

any idea how to fit particles such as unusual effects into this or is that pretty much impossible?
