  • Hide Global Illumination Source Object but Not Its Light

    Posted by Shawn Romano on April 14, 2009 at 1:17 am

    I am trying to use an object with luminance to light a scene without actually rendering the object. All I want is the light from it. I know there must be a tag or something to accomplish this but so far I’ve been unable to make it happen. Ideas?

    put a Compositing Tag on your GI source and uncheck Seen By Camera (and anything else appropriate) leave Seen by GI, of course 🙂

    Man I was so close! Pretty much a no-brainer. Thanks so much.
