■ You can Merge the incoming object without renaming, resulting in two
objects in the scene with the same name.
■ You can delete the existing object in the scene by selecting the Delete Old
button.
■ You can select Apply To All Duplicates, which performs the same action
to all subsequent matching objects.
NOTE To control whether or not the renderer uses the environment map's
alpha channel in creating the alpha for the rendered image, choose Customize
> Preferences > Rendering, and then turn on Use Environment Alpha in the
Background Antialiasing group.
If Use Environment Alpha is turned off (the default) the background receives
an alpha of 0 (completely transparent). If Use Environment Alpha is turned
on, the alpha of the resulting image is a combination of the scene and
background image's alpha. Also, when writing TGA files with Pre-Multiplied
Alpha set to off, turning on Use Environment Alpha prevents incorrect results.
Note that only background images with alpha channels or black backgrounds
are supported when compositing in other programs such as Photoshop
®
.
NOTE To control whether or not a background image is affected by the renderer's
antialiasing filter, choose Customize > Preferences > Rendering and then turn on
Filter Background in the Background Antialiasing group. Default=off.
