I try to test it in production pipeline.
The quality is awesome when I test it. Then I guess it will be very useful.
I am testing a car shot in Octane render. I am using a HDRI image which is created by myself. I will composite the rendered images with a picture, but the problem is that HDRI is rendered in background. Of course, I can get an alpha image from another software, like maya, or from octane.

Only one problem I can't fix is the HDRI image behind windows and head light glasses.

Is any way to render without HDRI in background?

Thank you.

Hi,

If you mean if it's possible to render with no HDRI background shown but using it for illumination only, it's not possible with current versions,
you always have the HDRI behind objects and transmitted through them.

Thank you for your answer. In maya mentalray, there is one option to hide the background of HDRI, but I still can get the HDRI information, only it will be not in the background.
If you have any chance to put any more options, please add this.

Thank you...

Keyshot does the same and it is a +1 for me.
Thats what I would like to see, because I'm trying the new Hdrlightstudio which is great for Product Shot lighting.
