Hide object function ?

[moontooth]

Hi I do not know Does Octane has function or materiel like Hide object body but still can see Object in reflection and still have Object's shadow in rendering.

I have been asking for this since buying Octane last fall.

Otoy does not disclose what features are coming, but Abstrax & Co have heard
me loud and clear.. they know very well that me and at least a handful of other
dudes want this very, very badly. Hopefully, after 1.20, they will be adding this
and it will be in one of the coming release candidates... I can only hope.

If all goes well, we will not only have invisible to camera, but also invisible to rays
(shadows/reflections) and possibly make objects/surfaces invisible/visible to alpha
as well. *crosses fingers.. again*

But just invisible to camera would be HUGE.. and allow me to work in LW with almost
complete freedom to work the way I do, and not have to resort to any munky-bizness
to make things happen (render separate mask images as 24bit b/w or use MatID).

Thanks A lot Frank,
Yeah this function is a really important things for rendering,
hope We can get it ASAP.

Yes.
This is a cross-app need.

Much like my exif request: all apps could make use of such available information.
