    Render scene with Vray Light Expression in alpha channel?

    Posted by Simon Huang on December 30, 2014 at 9:35 am

    Hi, I have added a VRay light to a scene but have absolutely no idea how to render just the model in alpha channel. Normally you can just check “seen by camera camera off” or use a shadow catcher. However, in this case, since an EXR file has been used in the layer shader under Area Light> Light Dome> Layer, i can’t seem to turn “seen by camera off” and there is no option for that.

    So, is there a way i can render the model in alpha channel? Been racking my brain all day 🙁

    Thanks so much!

    Turning “invisible” on seemed to work abit. However, everything is invisible in the final render….
