is there away to set a particular material not to render?

[mitviz]

haven't searched much but i have an object that is one editable poly with different material ids for some faces, especially glass in windows but i would like to have the glass and some other parts not to render, is that possible? i am trying to do that when doing a material override in the global switches slot

You can always add meshselect+deletemesh modifiers to temporarily remove faces that you don't want.

aha, i did that but was wondering if there was a easier way as just being able to exclude a particular material

[vlado]

Not that I can think of, unfortunately.

maybe it could be a new feature request?

[vlado]

Well, override by material has been on the wishlist for a while, but there are some weird cases that I'm not quite sure how to handle yet. I hope we'll get to it.
