I find it extremely irritating that the two options for the background while
rendering are: No background (renders as a png of only the MOC) and Floor (sets
the floor to a color, the background is black or white depending on light
type, has the bricks reflect the color of the floor as well) Why can't we
have an option that is like floor, but fills the entire background with the selected
color?

Yes, I understand that one could just lay the PNG from no background over a solid
color, HOWEVER, the thing about floor is that the reflected light color being
tinted towards the floor color is really nice, and makes the model seem to glow
the color of the floor.

Additionally, I find it annoying that while picking a color for the floor, there
is not a way to see what color the floor will actually end up looking like after
being lit unless you start rendering.

My suggestions are:
–Add an option for rendering that functions like floor, but fills the entire
background with selected color/
–Add option to see what color the floor/background will actually end up being
once lit, or add an option to lock the floor/background from changing color due
to lighting.

I think these are very much needed especially the first one, the renderer is
slightly dysfunctional without it in my opinion, and there isn't a way to
manually fix it perfectly. The best you can do is smart crop the color of background
out and then the entire image over a solid color that matches the floor. However
this doesn't work if the floor color or the model is too close to the color
black, and even then it really doesn't look that good.

I would very much appreciate it if these changes were made, and I think others
would as well.

I just noticed that my profile picture is a good example of how Stud.io 2.0 renders
things using the floor option, disregarding how compressed it is. So, view that
for reference... .
