Include/Exclude for HDRI Lighting

[Ahmad Kouti]

Hi,

Can we have an option to include or exclude objects from HDRI light that I have assigned in the scene environment section?

It can be used in different places, what I mean is a function like Vray dome light that you have options like a normal light.

for example, I want HDRI lighting for only one object in some projects and use artificial light for the rest of the objects.

I also often wish I had this feature available. It would be useful in an instance where you have an interior scene with a backdrop image for the view out of the windows, and you want the backdrop image to be excluded from environment lighting and be lit from a light of its own.

- To light a scene with HDRi light but being able to exclude some objects and let them lit by only area lights instead of HDRi
- This feature is already avaialble on other renderers like Arnold, Redshift etc. and its a necessary useful feature for any light type.
