Hide "light" object

[Jorgensen]

Hi

Probably a dum question, but is it possible to create an object with a emissive material, and hide the object, so only the light i visible?

Thanks

Hi Jorgensen,

Sure, just create Diffuse material, set emission and then set opacity to 0. Object will be invisible but preserve emission.

Fuzzy

Ah ok - thanks

Excuse me, do we need to set the opacity to 0 of the material attached or the object?

[Jorgensen]

i'm trying to redo this - create an object add a diffuse material, add emission material with blackbody emission, but when i change the opacity both the object and light disappears.

what am i'm doing wrong

thanks
