3D rendered alpha transparent png doesn't import properly

[twistedpancreas]

Hey there guys I've rendered a simple reflective alpha transparent png from Blender but when I import it into Affinity Photo, it loses the reflection of the clouds.

Is this an alpha or colour profile issue?

Attached is the png

Hi,

it would help if you could upload the afphoto file.

This is a complicated issue as the transparent film option is not very accurate when you select transparent glass. My suggestion would be to use two renders one with the reflection at 100% and the other using transparent glass and blend between them in AD. You might get a better quality result if you have the photograph image as plane aligned to the camera behind the model that way transparency isn't going to be an issue later in AD

Is this window thing just an example, a proof of concept or an actual work?

Why do you even need blender, this is doable in Affinity Photo with an image perspective tool and a bit of blend mode and the eraser.

Here's the afphoto file attached.

And yeah it's for future reference where I'd like to get Blender working with Affinity Photo as best as possible for future projects.

I don't really think it has lost the clouds:

With linear light on a black background you can see that the clouds are still there but as I mentioned earlier the Transparent Glass setting is what "thins out" the reflected and refracted colours. The problem might be that in your render you are using a clear or white background. Without seeing your Blender scene it is hard to be sure.  One way may be to render the glass panel as a glossy material with no roughness and then use the Opacity seeing in Affinity to dial in the transmitted colours coming through from behind, then overlay the window frame as that will always be fully opaque. Is there any particular reason that you are using Affinity for this as Blender's compositor can do all this type of work very well.
