Camera invisible objects

Post by Dade »

I added a flag to have camera invisible objects. It works like camera arbitrary plane: the scene is not affected but the marked objects will not be visible in the rendering.

This is a scene with normal triangle area lights:

and this with the area lights marked as camera invisibile:

The property to mark camera invisible object is "scene.objects.<object name>.camerainvisible":

Code: Select all

scene.objects.l1.material = whitelight
scene.objects.l1.ply = scenes/bigmonkey/bigmonkey-lights.ply
scene.objects.l1.camerainvisible = 1

This flag can be used in some creative way: for instance you can render a room making the walls camera invisible for some nice illusion.

I think this feature will be used a lot :)

edit: added support for it in BlendLuxCore.
