I am using the latest version of SU Pro 2024 subscription version. I regularly use the export animation tool with jpeg selected as the image type to create images of all my animation scenes in one go. I have found in SU2024 that for some reason it renders hidden objects as a transparent mesh. I’ve not seen this in previous veriosns of SU. Also I checked what happens with a regular single image export and it comes out normally without the hidden object mesh. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a solution?

There is a known bug with the animation exporter. The developers are aware and working on a fix.

The solution for now (for Windows) is to use SU2023.
