If you just add a character (or whatever else), and in render settings have 'draw dome' to Off, and no background, you will get a PNG with alpha channel.

following this routine above gave me no b'ground before, but now when i try it, i still get an opaque white background with no showthr...what shall I do? I need s .jpg with no background. is that the problem?

i tried again, asking for a png render, but again it didn't make the backgroound invisible, remaining all white. do i need to use a dome as background in order to get what i want?

what program are you opening the PNG with?

Many basic image viewers display the alpha channel in full black or full white.
You need a program that supports transparent layers, such as GIMP or Photoshop.

Have a nice day!

You can have an HDRI dome, but visibility of render dome needs to be OFF in Environment Render Settings.

if you are just opening a PNG in windows file viewer or something, it's not going to show a transparent background, so need to use in an image editing software that supports layers and alpha channels.  E.g., Gimp, Photoshop.  Photopea has been around for a while and is pretty good as an alternative free web version of Photoshop.  It's basically just a plagiarised version of Photoshop and can do most basic things photoshop and gimp can do and you dont need to install anything.
