Rendering alpha with .exr file not working UE5.7.1

[xero6064 (Xero)]

Hi,

I’m trying to render only the character out so I put the character on a layer. However, despite the rendering preview only showing the character (which is what I wanted), when I open the .exr output files, it still has everything in it.

I also tried to using jpeg and png as output files, and it would render 2 sets of images, one set is just the character, the other one has everything in it. So I think it has something to do with .exr format. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thank you, hopefully the images are not too confusing

I found the same problem.As long as it is translucent, there will be problems.

It looks like you have “Accumulator Includes Alpha” turned off on the path tracing render settings. This is needed to output the alpha channel. I’m not really used to using Actor layers, you may have better luck getting the result you want out of Movie Render Graph and collections.
