In Character Creator 3.1, I was able to fumble my way though exporting a character as a PNG image with a transparent background.  I disabled the image for the scenes and did other things that I cannot remember and it was successful.  I cannot replicate this in version 3.2.  Does anyone know the exact steps to export a PNG with a transparent background (I'm assuming this feature was not removed in this version)?

In your Edit/Project Settings there is a 2D background rollout.  Just uncheck the background image.

Thanks Kellytoons.  I initially still had the problem after your reply of:
- From the Edit Menu, select Project Settings
- Under the 2D Background Rollout, De-Select "Activate Image"

It turns out that I also had to turn off the "Show Sky" visibility by doing:
- From the Windows Menu, select Visual Settings
- In the Image Based Lighting Rollout, click on the invisible icon next to Show Sky

And this works when I actually click on Export from the Render menu and actually export using the export button (as opposed to the Preview Image option under the Render menu -- this will not produce the transparent background).

I hope this helps anyone else who currently has this problem.

Again, Thanks!
