BUG: wallpaper with transparency loads/looks incorrectly in V9

[gustojunk (Gustavo Fontana)]

Hi McNeel team, @andy ,

I’m working on updating a script that I use that allows me to add multiple views to a view capture without all the mess and friction of using layouts.

This works great in V8 but in V9 I see that Walp[aper does not show the transparency of a .png correctly.

Here’s the example .png to load as wallpaper:

Here’s how it looks in V8:

and in V9 WIP:

Can you please fix this? Thx!

Thanks for your report. It looks fine on my side, and I’m testing it in latest Rhino WIP.

Hi Jessesn,

This was on latest WIP from last week:

Another bug, in the rendered viewport, the wallpaper looks different than the image I’m using. I have a non-transparent image to show you:

Thanks,

Thank you again for your testing, but the difference doesn’t look obvious on my side. I can hardly see any difference at all. Could you test it in the latest Rhino WIP? I have PM’d you.

@gustojunk - are you in DirectX or OpenGL display?

[gustojunk (Gustavo Fontana)]

hi Dale,

DirectX and that seems to be the problem for:

1. Transparency:

2. Faded wallpaper in rendered viewport:
