i fucking lol'd xD

What you need to do is :

Export your image with these settings:
Image

So, go to Photoshop and open your image you've made in C4D.
1.) Go to "layers" and double click onto the lock to unlock it. Click ok.
2.) Goto "channels"

Image

3.) Only select the Alpha-Channel. Now your image is white & black.

Image

4.) STRG (or Control if you have a Mac) + left mouse click onto the little preview screen next to the eye.
The white part of your image is now selected.

5.) Hit STRG + SHIFT + I to invert the selection.
6.) Go back to Layers and select Layer 0. Then just hit the backspace key and you are done.

Well with the amount "CTRL" is used in general...I'm amazed he always assumed it was just Mac users....

You can also just use the PNG format and you don't have to do anything in photoshop.
