Set material to not be affected by light Tweet

[Whispermode]

Hello.

Is it possible to have a material/object NOT be affected by light or environment in Octane Blender?

I've seen it done in Cycles using an emission shader (I think), but can't get the same to work in the Octane plugin.

Thanks.

Have you tried using emission texture node?

Have you tried using emission texture node?

Thanks, J.C - I had, but could never get it right... I just tried again and realised if you set the Diffuse colour to black, it works.

...still, ideally I don't want to use an emission node, and would like to be able to turn off 'accept light', 'accept shadows' etc.

You will need light linking for this:

One possible way, depending on how your scene is set up, is to use the render passes.and compositing

The Diffuse Filter passes (there's two, either should work [even if they differ slightly in my test]) gives the objects diffuse colors, without any shading. You could use that, mask it out with info from either the Material Index pass or the Object Index Pass, and composite over the rest of the scene.

This doesn't work if it's behind glass though..

This is exactly what I need. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, J.C.
