Famingo nXt5 alpha masking

Rendering Flamingo
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to use a png file with a transparent background to mask a planer object and cant find the option to mask in the bitmap options. This i=used to be easy in regular nXt. Has the functionality been removed like the ground plane alpha masking?
If it has be junked, is the a script that could fix it?

Many thanks,

Brian.

Also, when I select “both” for direction the plane is blank when renderd despite the bitmap being visible in the rendered preview. Is this really how it is in 5? I’m on deadline now and getting ver frustrated.
