Rendering Only Black And White

[tfhwargt3]

I have been messing around with the render settings menu and now every time I render current frame it only renders a black background, with a bright white object. No matter what I do to the objects in the scene, it only renders black with white objects. Even if I start a new project it still does the same thing. Is there any way to revert to default for render settings. Thanks in advance.

sounds like you are viewing the ALPHA channel. simply press the RGB button on your render window which looks like a red/green/blue beach ball...

yeah i figured it out. Thanks though! How come it only renders with a black background. I want to render with a while background instead of black. And maybe a blue background. Is there a setting for that?

I am accomplishing this right now by putting a plane with material properties right behind the object so as to block any view of the background. This is tedius and I feel it is somewhat stupid. Thanks in advance for any help.

Open the cameras attribute editior and assign the background a texture or color.

However Alpha is supposed to be black and white because its only 1 channel (it couldnt convey blue even iif it wanted to), it s a measure of how much objcts trasparency so you can put it into photoshop and layer just the object on top of your image. In a way its not a picture at all its juts apreview of the alphas value. If you dont know what alha is ignore it.

But what you want to do is to assign your objects with a surface sghader thats white.
