Ah, ok. So the issue was not no alpha for refractive objects, it was no alpha at all? Holger Schönberger technical director The day has 24 hours, if that does not suffice, I will take the night

But if I render a series of images as .png the background comes with NO ALPHA. Ok, I´m very confused now. Why can´t I get an alpha straight out from a sequence .png? Thanks.

Wait, then, how doable is it to work with alpha with arnold directly from render? I´m figuring I can pull out a key (by doing another "solid" constant white shader, assign it to a pass with all the objects and rendering on MR, but that is not a solution since arnold as such should handle transparency all from a single render. The objective is to have a set of furniture rendered WITH an alpha channel. How can I accomplish that? Help please. Thanks.

What?! No option in the shader to choose color+alpha if the refraction depth hits the limit or if the ray leaves the scene. In SI+ MRay, you can set an environment shader per object or pass to set the color+alpha, which is by default 0/0/0/0.
