    I'm thinking this would cut out any lighting alterations that off-camera geometry (or lights) would throw onto the subject. Off-camera geometry can be resource overhead, but it can also make or break how a scene should be lit. 

    It would depend on the Clip Lights setting - if off then light could get in and the external geometry would be hidden, if on then the geometry wiould be visible in rlfections etc. and would block external lights. From the description I'm guessing it's the former by default.

    By default, Clip Lights is Off to allow HDRI light in.

    I didn't realize it was even possible to keep Clip Lights "on." What would be the point of the section plane then?

    In addition to letting more light in to an interior space, another thing that clipping planes are useful for is making it possible to get a camera angle you like without having to resort to using a wide angle lens.

    Good tip! I didn't think about that....

    They're a really good way to get interior vehicle shots, and the stand kit makes this super easy because you can just stick the base underneath the car and adjust as needed.

    That's a fantastic render! I love the lighting. The red backlight is really effective with juxtaposing the blue of the screen glows.

    And that's a great point for inside vehicle shots (or any enclosed spaces), the Stand Kit can be pretty helpful in those situations. :)

    Thank you for sharing your render! It's very cool!
