Hi!
First of all thank you so much for the tutorial! It is really helpful,but my question is:
Is it possible to achieve GI and rendering simply the character without the stage we created and with a transparent background?
Because I've tried the basic way (in the render settings simply changing the format to PNG and ticking "Alpha Channel") but it rendered the character along with the stage

Thanks,
~ClairexLeon19

Hey there! ^^

Of course you can, you can do 2 things:

1. Simply don't create a stage (but note the ligthing will look different because the stage's surface won't reflect lights)
2.  Create a stage, Right click on it and add a "Compositing Tab", click on it and uncheck "Visible by the camera" and "Visible by transparency" (or something along those lines)

Good luck! Drop a message if you need any help

Step N°2: In the rectangle's attributes you have to tick "rounding"
