Mask/Occlude Particles With Invisible/Non-Rendering Geometry

Anonymous — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 21:01:48 GMT

Hello,

I have some particles swirling around a shape. I do not want the shape to render and I do not want the particles behind the shape to render. Of course, as soon as I hide the shape, the partices behind it are visible.

All tips apprecieted. Thank you.

What happens if you just make the shape non-renderable instead of hiding it?

If I uncheck "renderable" under object properties, the particles behind the object show up in the render.
