i set the Film Transparent mode

material mode ?

is it possible in material mode or how to see it ?

thanks

The background gets transparent and shows the checker grid (assuming you meant this?) if Viewport Shading is set to Rendered while enableing Film: Ttransparent for me in 3.2.1 and 3.3 on debian linux (and not only in camera view).

3

so only in rendered mode
not in Material mode

same thing i think for workbench

thanks

If you mean: Eevee, Cycles, Workbench… yes only in rendered, not solid nor material preview.

5

only other place would be in UV editor
but still need to upload the image

:question:

Now you lost me.

i mean In UV editor if you upload a PNG file it will show you the Transp background or Transp parts with the plus sign = Alpha value

look around the UV layout and even inside you can see the alpha
but you don’t have any image

see mine here with an image

there is also an option to see only the alpha values in UV editor

This is 2.79 … you was asking about 3.3… anyway the tranparent light grey dark grey checker replacement is only shown in Renderd mode.
Do you think of the colored plus signs in the generated UV grid image ??

11

the green is the UV image i did and uploaded on a plane
shown in UV editor
and it is set to show the alpha value by default
so all the green text it is shown with the + sign in background

i use 2.79 cause i can’t do it in Bl 3.3 yet

i’m trying to show same thing in BL 3.3 in UV editor
but i cannot find the Sync icon
where is it now ?

thanks

don’t have that
read the BL 3.3 manual and should work

i use the Zip version not the installed version

i redid the unwrap in 2.79 and copied to BL 3.2
at least i got that one working

but is there some parameter to get this Sync icon may be ?

here is full page in edit mode with UV opened

You switch to the UV Editing workplace ?
(you image is showing" 3D Full View, Animaton, Compositing, Default, Gamee Logic but the standard is:
layout Modelling Sculpting UV Editing, Tecture Paint, Shading ???)
You can also scroll this and there should be a plus sign to add UV Editing…

(It is also a bit unclever to show just a part of the window… if you don’t want so big images it’ better to make the window smaller…)

i’m also AFK now…

i used the 2.79 set up

i did a test whit factory set up
and i can see the sync buttons

so my 2.79 set up in 3.3 does not work
there are several items on UV header missing
like the icon for sync and others too

so will make a new version of bl 3.3
using 2.79 set up and see if it works
if this 2.79 still exist

thanks
