Rendering with canvas

Is there a way to render with a canvas? I tried to render something, but the canvas won't show up.

You can't render a canvas (at least so far as i know) but if you use it as a decal then this will work as of the latest update to Fusion - good timing.

If you are trying to use it as a backdrop then simply create some arbitrary geometry behind your model (i.e. thin cuboid or similar) and attach what would have been your canvas as a decal instead. You might need to play with the location and sizing of the decal, also transparency and environment may not be what you were after given there is now some solid geometry potentially casting shadows so you will have to play with these settings in the render mode. See screenshots below as an example - the first you will see there is an attached canvas on the front plane with an object behind (not yet rendered), the second shows the same object once rendering is enabled.

Failing that you will need to work out how to create a custom environment map....something beyond my skill set to advise I am afraid.
