Alpha channel not working with decal, Rhino8

Alpha channel not working when I use a png with decal. Also tried color mask. Preview looks right but background still shows up in rendered moded

If you take a screen grab of your material settings there might be a quick and easy solution. The transparency of a PNG should work with decals. It might be as simple as clicking a button.

I*** came up with two work-arounds when decals aren’t behaving:
The first being to create a separate object just to host the decal. I will make that object’s material “air”, a completely transparent object with 1.00 IOR, no reflection, etc…
The second being to create a material with the image of whatever you want to superimpose. This might not work in certain situations. The advantage here is that you can slap reflectivity over the decal (not sure if decals do this).

****Edit: “I” is half lying. Some was from help in this forum some was stuff I came up with on my own.

Got it! Inserted png as base color texture.
