How do I make my POV-Ray background transparant?

When choosing the background color use clear, which represents rgbf<1, 1, 1, 1>.

The ouput format must also support alpha (transparancy) channel (PNG or Targa-24), which the default bitmap format (Windows) does not. So, add these to your .ini file or use the equivalent command-line switches.

.ini file:
Output_File_Type=N -- PNG format
Output_Alpha=On -- Enable alpha channel

command line:
+FN -- PNG format
+UA -- Enable alpha channel
