Hi

So, the thing I want to accomplish is to add .png images, compile them and then transform the compiled montrosity (move/scale, etc).

But the thing is, if I “alphaover” the images with some offset, for example:

the image laid over the other cuts off, as the overlay can’t reach outside the dimensions of the underlaying one.

I know I can just:

  • use eg. gimp and combine the images there, but I’d rather have my workflow entirely in blender.
  • add transparent padding for ~billion pixels around the decal as a workaround, but that sounds silly and “bruteforcing” the concept.

How would I go about getting all overlaid images to display in full in such case? I’ve tried different options on the “alpha over” and “color mix” -nodes without results, but entirely possible that I just missed some critical combination.

So, thoughts?

    weird, yesterday I couldn’t get it to work with generated 4k x 4k square of just alpha, but today it does work a charm. Must have been tired and derped something fierce.

    Eitherway, so far, as far as jank solutions go, it seems to be the least jank. Thanks.
