Hide Object in Render
Hey guys, I’m sorry to have to ask this but I’m still new to Cinema 4D. I felt I would ask this question because everytime I Google it I usually get results for people having the opposite problem.
What I’m trying to do is, say I have a box or a lightsource. I want them to still interact with the scene but not be visible in the final render. Like I have a shadowbox lighting a logo for example but when I zoom out, you can see the light and textures on the shadowbox.
For Example:

the Compositing tag is what you are looking for. In the example you would attach one to the lightbox and uncheck ‘Seen By Camera’ – if you don’t want the reflection of the light/shadow box on the floor but still want the light on the floor around the red objects you would need to add the floor/plane/whatever you are using to the Exclusion tab of the Compositing tag and make sure the reflection icon is dark (the icons are – Transparency, Refraction, Reflection, Hierarchy) when the icon is dark it’s enabled so reflections fron the shadowbox off the floor would be ignored

In addition to what Brian said … if your light setup is an area light rig (maybe from GSG?), you can disable “show in render” in the area light’s Details tab.
