Hide object from render, but keep lighting effects

villyreality

Hey, is there a way to hide a object in the render, but keeping the lighting and shadows as it was rendered with the object?

If you're using Iray, here's a way to make an invisible object cast a shadow. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/4035871/#Comment_4035871

To make an invisible light, set the opacity really low (like .00000001) so it's invisible, but still able to emit light.
