Transparency not rendering on subtools

Hit a wall and dont know what else to do. The subtool has BPR transparency on in display properties and transparency is enabled in the render settings. None of my subtools render transparent, I have tried with all of them. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

It may seem like a silly question but which renderer are you using? If you’re using Render >> Best, that won’t work. It needs to be the BPR renderer.

Hi and thanks for responding. It does not render as transparent in BPR or any other render setting I have tried.

Hi Dear
Please show this Video :

I wish it help you

Thank you. This is the video I initially watched in order to render transparency. It still does not work. I can render transparency in other scenes but this one simply will not render transparency. I am wondering what settings could be active in various appended subtools that could be affecting the render? Any ideas??

1-Selct the tool you need it Transparency
3- Go to tools > Display Properties > BPR Settings >Active Choice ( BPR Transpernt Shading )

you are welcome dear i hope to solve your problem

Hello there! I noticed that if “Live Boleans” (top left - third option on work space) is active, when you do the BPR render the oppacity of the subtools would not show. Once I deactivated the Live Boolean option transparency render as expected. Hope this helps.
