Hide Hdri environment in Octane Render.

[deweysi]

Hi there,

Im using Octane render in C4d and trying to hide the HDRI Environment but show some footage on the background layer.

I need to camera match a background plate so will be importing footage and matching lighting/angle etc.

Turning on/off the Alpha channel and Keep Environment tags under the kernel settings are causing the whole scene to become transparent (including the background layer)

Thanks in advance

Add your HDRI and then in Octane settings under Kernels make sure Alpha Channel is selected. To get a background object to work just add a background object as you would normally and make a C4D material instead of an octane material and apply it to that object. Then there you go. Probably want to match you scene dimensions to your background image and lock the live viewer.
