Title: Forest Pack Items Not Rendering When using Render Selective
Post by: Blanco on 2025-02-07, 18:10:57

Does anyone know how to get forest pack items to render when using 'Render Selective'
I just want to re-render some trees in an animation that had fireflies on them, without rendering the whole frames. I just can't find a way.

I tried a work-around applying a shadow catcher material to everything else and turned the shadows amount up to 10 to eliminate the shadows. The Beauty pass has no shadows but the alpha channel still does.

In VRay, there is an alpha matte material that you can apply to all the other objects to make them invisible, but nothing similar in Corona.

Any ideas would be welcome. Ideally to get it to work with Render Selective.

Hi, you need to select the instanced object(s), not the actual Forest object. It's the same with Scatter.

Thank you. I'll give that a try.

Would be great to just select the FP object though.
