Is Shadow visibility broken?
I want object to just emit the light and be invisible. I created spare Octane parameters and switch off Camera and Shadow visibility - the shadow of object still renders.
Did i do something wrong?
Octane 3.00.20.00

The shadow visibility option is to disable the receiving shadows. If you need to full hide an object from the camera and shadow rays, you should use the "General visibility" parameter, available in the same tab, set to 0.0

Oh, sorry.
I was mislead by the help card:
The Shadow Visibility parameter takes a boolean value to specify whether the shadow cast by the object visible to the camera or otherwise.
Now i get it. Thank you!
