For some reasons, i need some objects to be seen in reflexions, but not by the camera.
Is there any chance to get that to work ?
If not, this is an official request

If the solution is via materials, please make USDsurfacePreview material to be able to do so

add a cube reflection probe, update it, hide objects after updating.

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Great ! Many thanks !!!

So, to be sure :
– i Show the objects to be reflected;
– i update the light probe;
– i hide the objects to be reflected;

and it will remains the “fake” reflexions ?

I’m too used to path tracing / raytracing, so it acts another way

Well, in fact, there is no need in updating reflection probes. They will be updated right after they have been created. So you can try just to hide objects after the app has been loaded. And yes, hidden objects will be visible on the reflection cubemap.

Many thanks !!!

I’ll update light probes, as i need different reflexion sets regardless of user’s choice.
