Making Children Unseen By Camera?

[Giacomo99]

Hello-

I'm working with a scene where I need to turn entire groups of objects "on and "off" (the various elements need to be rendered in passes.

Is there any way to do this easily? Or, if I have fifty objects that I don't want to render, do I need to go through and click "Unseen by Camera" and "Unseen By Rays" for *every single one?*

Please advise.

I believe that you can do it in the scene editor all at once... I will check and get back.

No prob...
You can get to almost all the properties from there scene editor.

Or you can set up layers in layout using my plugin which allows you to easily switch unseen by camera on or off for groups of objects, as well as display state and whether they are locked, and much more...
