I'm a standalone user,
Now my scene have a beautiful shadow using some model blocking the light.
So I should hide the model if I want to render it. But how can I hide it and still hold the shadow?
thanks:)

Try the Object Layer node.

Or, for more subtle control over multiple light rays, Give Calus's RaytypeContribution OSL shader a try.
