I've had similar issues with rendering Composite objects. The transforms don't seem to do what I would expect them to do, and it's very hard to make things line up properly. I feel like I'm misunderstanding just what "anchor" means for a transform. Sorry I can't be more helpful though.

I can confirm that showing the displayable, taking a screenshot, and then cropping and adding transparency to that screenshot, allows me to generate usable PNG images, and furthermore that DynamicDisplayable doesn't draw excess CPU or hang the game when it uses only such images. This is at least a p...

Is there a way to save a displayable as a PNG image? I know PIL can do that, but I'm not sure about Renpy's image handling system (which conflicts with PIL in many ways). So far the best I can think of is to show the displayable on screen and then take a screenshot.

Correction: The problem is NOT fixed. Reduced, but not fixed. I don't think DynamicDisplayable is the culprit after all. I think it's AlphaMask. Even when I generate images as static Image objects in an init: statement, sometimes displaying those images results in weird flickering artifacts and then...

Changing the update time of DynamicDisplayable largely fixed the problem. I knew there should be a simple way to do this; I feel silly now for not seeing it.

I think is what I was looking for: "Can't be sure without looking at your code, but you can tell the DynamicDisplayable to wait a certain amount of time before redrawing. You don't need to call renpy.time.sleep" I will try that first. In case that fails, can you explain this method a bit m...

It seems to really depend upon the AlphaMask in some way I can't quite understand. When it's just static PNG images that are being used in the Composite, everything behaves as it should. The problem with that is that there are so many possible combinations, even with each body part separated out int...

So, what I'm trying to do may be a bit complicated to explain, though in principle it doesn't seem that weird to want to do. I want to have multiple characters, each with customizable attributes, who can change their emotions over the course of the game. So here's what I'm doing so far: Each charact...

I have some characters who are made up of overlapping composited images. I want to be able to display them with alpha transparency in some cases. This seems straightforward enough: Use Flatten() on the composite to combine it into a single texture. This is exactly what Flatten() is supposed to be fo...

Yes, I think I can make that work. Thank you.

This seems like such a simple thing, but I've not been able to get it to work. I have several different parts of a LiveComposite that I want to line up (and potentially, move around) based on the results of variables. These images are of different sizes and there are quite a few of them. For example...
