If you're having trouble getting your smoke domain to render transparent in Blender, there are a few things you can check. First, make sure that the alpha channel is enabled in your render settings. Then, check the "Transparency" option in your smoke domain's properties. Finally, make sure that your smoke domain is set to the correct size and position in your scene.

Q: How do you make a domain transparent in blender?

A: There is no built-in functionality to make a domain transparent in Blender. However, you can achieve a similar effect by setting the domain's material to use a transparent shader.

Q: Why is my background not transparent in blender?

A: There could be a number of reasons why your background is not transparent in Blender. One possibility is that you have not enabled transparency in your render settings. To do this, go to the 'Render' tab in the properties panel, and under the 'Shading' section, check the 'Transparency' box.

Another possibility is that your background image is not configured properly. In the 'World' tab of the properties panel, make sure that the 'Color' setting is set to 'Transparent'. Also, under the 'Image' section, make sure that the 'Alpha' setting is set to 'Transparent'.

If neither of these solutions work, it is possible that your background image is not actually transparent. In this case, you may need to use an image editing program to make it transparent.

Q: How do I enable smoke physics in blender?

A: In the Physics tab of the Properties window, change the Type drop-down menu to Smoke.

Q: How do you make an object emit smoke in blender?

A: There are a few ways to create smoke in Blender. One way is to use the built-in Smoke simulator. To do this, add a domain object to your scene (in the Physics tab of the Properties panel, select Smoke from the Type drop-down menu). Then, add a smoke source (in the Physics tab, select Smoke from the Type drop-down menu). Finally, bake the simulation (in the Physics tab, click the Bake button).

Another way to create smoke is to use the Smoke Particle system. To do this, add a Smoke Particle system to your scene (in the Particle Settings tab of the Properties panel, select Smoke from the Type drop-down menu). Then, add a smoke source (in the Particle Settings tab, select Smoke from the Type drop-down menu). Finally, bake the simulation (in the Particle Settings tab, click the Bake button).
