#1st Frame reflection
I am creating a scene with a marble floor which is auto-reflection mapped (flat
mirror). This looks great but takes forever to render. So I want to create
the reflection on the first frame only, but some of my objects will move and
change – therefore I want to hide only THESE objects on the first frame.
The problem is that I will be doing about 10 separate renderings with different
cameras and I am using Release 2. Is there a way I can hide the objects and
render a certain view that I can then reflection map that image on it? (Is that
confusing enough?) i.e. I have a Marble floor, a bunch of Pilars and a dome
ceiling. The camera will move within this and I dont want to figure the flat
mirror on the floor every frame.
Any thoughts?
thanks,
