Hi all,
i realise that whenever i render, the picture will have a black background. How can I change it to other color. I tried searching both the mantra and camera node but i still can't find.
Please advise.

Hi diskhub,
If you hit d in mplay it will bring up the display options and you can change the background color there. You'll also need to toggle on the transparency button in mplay's display bar (the one on the right). This is only for viewing in mplay though I think, and you'll probably need to do it in comp if you want to save with a different background color.

hi, thank for your reply.
However, i wish to have the background color changed before the render as I have some object which has a transparent shader and I do not wish to have the “black” color on them…
The most lame method i was planning to do was to put a plane with a colored shader behind. And is there anything like the camera in Maya where the camera has the option of changing the color background or image sequence to be projected…

Been trying to figure this out also, but looks like ( from previous posts ) that it's not possible.
Maybe a very big sphere with a material or constant shader would help? and it's normals flipped?
Shouldn't be too difficult to implement a bg object or colour
that's stupid if they do not have such feature. Just feel it's unnecessary to have another obj just for the backdrop…
but anyway, thanks for your advice!

put down environment light, set it to some color
check Render Light Geometry
and if you don't want any illumination, just uncheck Diffuse Contribution
for no specular or refracion uncheck Specular Contribution
for H13 use new lighting contribution based on component labels you want to be affected
