Rendering smoke,fire,particles on transparent background ?

Hi,

Is it possible to render Blender fire,smoke etc … on transparent background, so I could drag and drop this smoke or fire into photoshop to some image for composition ?

Sure, just save with alpha channel enabled…

I’m also having trouble getting this working. Of course I’ve checked the PNG with RGBA options for file export, but I still get the sky colour as a background instead of the transparency. I’m using the 2.53 beta, and would welcome any other suggestions?

Did you un-check “Sky” in the render layers?
