  Render reflections but not object?

  Posted by John Hammond on April 30, 2009 at 10:23 am

  Hi,

  I have a scene that I am trying to render.

  I have a Sky object with a texture, and some extruded text with a very reflective danel shader applied.

  I want to render the text with the reflections of the sky object on it. But I do not want to render the actual sky object in the background. I just want ‘nothing’ in the background so I can use the alpha channel.

  So I need to turn off the Sky from rendering, but still let it generate reflections.. I’m sure I used to be able to do this in Max..

  Any tips?

  Thanks
  John
