Green/Blue Screen

It would be great to have the option for a green or blue screen setting for the map background (parchemnet etc) and terrain sides (at the edge of the map space) so that it's easier to bring our DA maps into other environments.

Don't think just chromo-key. It would be nice when making a 2-d export (still useful folks) (have an export dialogue check box that the parchment would be transparent on export (i.e. elpha channel = 0)
A room floor that is similarly alpha = 0 (another check box?) would allow 2d "object" exports that are simple to use. in that old 2d environment.

For easy masking in image editing software, It would be very useful to be able to paint any object or surface a chroma key color. Ideally this feature would offer two modes: one with cast shadows but without shading, and perhaps a shaded-but-uncolored version.

The idea would be yo have an option to switch the base terrain to green abstract so we could export the image to use as an overlay.
I.E. create a forest with green abstract floor, so all trees can be used as an overlay when exported to VTTs (after editing or putting the green as trasparent "texture") so tokens can pass under the trees in the vtt.

Sometimes you want to create a second floor of a building, without the dark parchment. In post-production it's a chore to cut out the map from the dark parchment. Having the option to surround the buildings/rooms/export with a colour similar to the abstract objects would help differentiate the walls from the dark parchment or other export background.

I was told that that extra brown space is needed for the bleed out of 3D effects.
So, they could add an "Transparency", that just don't render anything on that brown parchment area?

This is exactly what I came to request! A transparent border is ideal as you can preserve the cell count and more easily drop DA maps onto VTT grids and have them fit correctly with minimal fuss!

Walls and Floors that are flat out green or blue, so people that use the maps as images can put whatever they want there, like a picture of another floor for rooms like foyers.

Perhaps even just not rendering the background, leaving it transparent.

Ya, that's sth I look forward, too, since it's nice to have my created map from another angle than just from above and still be able to print it "print friendly" (black&white with white/transparent bg)

An option to make the unassigned ground and the sky a Green screen, to make it easier to add far off backgrounds for screenshot editing (Photoshop, Gimp, etc ). An idea from @shadowmunk in the Discord
