:smile: :o Quick question,
Having self illum objects like a ceiling casting light in a general fashion I find is great, but I dont want to render a self Illum ceiling I want to render the ordinary ceiling, can the self Illum ceiling be invisible and the ordinary one visible. :smile:
how is it done then?
