render an instance and hide polygon

[cpz]

Hi, I have high polygon model A, and I want to duplicate it so I have model B, , which would increase the poly count in the scene; is it possible to take model B, make it hidden (with the Arnold tag) from the camera , but have the instance visible to the camera?, thank you, Craig

Yes, you can override the visibility flags on the instance, just add an Arnold tag to it as well.

OK, thank you for your input, Craig
