Invisibility

How can you make an object invisible when you render it but have it still cast shadowds and show up in reflections?

If anyone knows then thanks

have a look at the shape node in attribute editor. open the Render Stats tab.


everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

Turn off Primary Visibility, under the Render stats in the
Attribute Editor when you have selected the object.
That should work user added image
