[Renderer] Alway have an alpha channel in beauty.
We would like the Beauty output to always have an alpha channel.
Current behaviour:
- If Alpha (Output) is ticked the Beauty (Image) has an alpha channel and the Alpha image sequence gets written.
✅ - If Alpha (Output) is NOT ticked the Beauty (Image) doesn't have an alpha channel and the Alpha image sequence is not written.
❌
This is because Modo requires an alpha output enable to calculate the alpha, regardless of wether it writes the image on disk or not.
Desired behaviour:
- If Alpha (Output) is ticked the Beauty (Image) has an alpha channel and the Alpha image sequence gets written. (NO CHANGE)
✅ - If Alpha (Output) is NOT ticked the Beauty (Image) has an alpha channel and the Alpha image sequence is not written.
✅
Annex:
Here's a test scene to launch the render. You can launch Asset pass beauty and the result should be (eventually) a sphere with alpha channel:

And here's a scene setup so that the beauty renders with alpha, note that the alpha output is enable but has no path:
